Phoenix Police Museum

The Phoenix Police Museum highlights the history of the Phoenix Police Department from 1881 when Henry Garfias was elected the first city marshal to the present.
The museum educates the public in the history of the Phoenix Police Department in both historic and modern context, to enhance the image of law enforcement, interact with the community through a positive learning environment, and promote and preserve the history of the department.
Phoenix Police Museum is the initial home (and jail) of the Phoenix Police Department, then referred to as city marshals, and the place where Ernesto Miranda, the suspect, and case behind Miranda rights, wrote his noteworthy confession.
