Tamil Nadu Police Museum, Police and history museum in Egmore district, Chennai, India.
The Tamil Nadu Police Museum is a history museum in Chennai dedicated to the development of law enforcement in the region. The exhibits display uniforms, weapons, vehicles, and personal items from different periods of police work.
The Indo-Saracenic building was constructed in 1842 and initially served as the headquarters of the first police commissioner of Madras. It was later converted into a museum to document the region's police history.

The museum is located on Pantheon Road and welcomes visitors every day of the week. Arriving early in the day allows you to explore the exhibits without feeling rushed.
A standout piece in the collection is a blue Plymouth Belvedere police car from earlier decades. The displays also include items from famous cases, offering a window into actual police work through the years.
