Saxon Police History Collection, Police museum in Dresden, Germany.

The Saxon Police History Collection occupies several attic rooms in the Police Headquarters building, displaying 4,000 objects from law enforcement history.

Founded in 1894 by Police President Paul Köttig, the museum contained 70,000 objects before World War II, ranking among the largest police collections worldwide.

The collection includes historical police teaching materials, featuring criminal typology studies based on Cesare Lombroso's theories about criminal behavior patterns.
