The Toledo Police Museum is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization, whose mission is to preserve unique Police history, educate, honor and memorialize fallen officers. The Museum is 100% funded by donations from individuals and corporate sponsors. Their board of directors and volunteers are in charge of staffing the museum.

The Museum believes in the power of history to provide enjoyment, pay homage to those who have served before us, and forever memorialize the proud history of the Toledo Police Department. The museum will intrigue and educate children with its interactive exhibits which include being locked inside a jail cell, activating police lights, have their mug shot taken with the original Toledo Police mug shot camera, or peeking inside a replica 1948 police wagon. Adults can see the events that shaped both the City of Toledo and the Toledo Police Department, as they come to life in the historic timeline display. History buffs will enjoy the historical artifacts: some dating back to the late 1800's, including equipment, transportation, badges, photographs, police uniforms, weapons and technology.
The Toledo Police Museum now in Ottawa Park was originally incorporated in 1985. Then located in the Toledo Public Safety Building, it closed in 1994 when the space was required for other purposes. All the exhibits went into storage until June, 2011. The historic building that now houses the Police Museum was previously the Ottawa Park Nature Center. Constructed in 1927 as an open air shelter house, the building is octagonal in shape, made of brick and cut stone with terrazzo floors. It contains a large display area, offices and rest rooms.
