Hamburg Police Museum (Polizeimuseum Hamburg) is a museum based within the Hamburg Police Academy in the Hamburg-Winterhude district of Hamburg in northern Germany. It presents around 200 years of policing in the city,[1] forensic methods and criminal cases from the early 20th century onwards. It is co-run by the Hamburger Polizeiverein.[2] The museum is the largest police museum in Germany.[3]

Part of the exhibition in the museum focuses on the National Socialist Period and reveals how the police played a defensive role in enforcing National Socialist tyranny.[4]
