The Toledo Police Museum was incorporated on September 11, 1985 and was originally located on the first floor of the Toledo Police Safety Building until 1994. The museum’s collection then went into storage for almost two decades. On June 9, 2011, the Planning and Research Section of the Toledo Police Department reopened the museum.
