It's a very small museum but the curator was really friendly and helpful. The museum itself has the insignias and uniforms of every single country in the world.

Very interesting, highly recommended if interested in the police and Glasweigan history

Very interesting wee place, the member of staff was very enthusiastic and passionate about the subject and the museum itself was very informative.

Great look into the Glasgow's police history. You have to know that it's there to find it. There is a lift and disabled access but it's a bit of a squeeze but the staff were were very willing to help and very knowledge.

It's not exaggerating big as a museum, but it's incredibly interesting! It takes you around 1 hour, more or less, to visit and it closes at 5 pm. Don't worry if you don't see the entrance at first, it's there and it's free of charge! Donations are welcomed and, honestly, well deserved! There are just two halls but they're stuffed with intriguing items to the brim! Uniforms, photos etc will silently guide you through the slow process of evolution of the Scottish police, from the very beginning to the 70s. There's also a tiny hall dedicated to uniforms throughout the world and a little corner for police related gifts. Handcuffs and whistles mostly.You can also leave a sign of your presence by signing the visitors book. The staff is very welcoming and available for any kind of explanation or just to chat a little, very friendly indeed!Don't know whether there's a parking lot or not, but it's in the city centre so you shouldn't have troubles getting there.If I remember correctly though there's no entrance accessible for disabled as there were stairs, but not 100% sure, I'd recommend asking for it in advance.I'd recommend a visit anyway, well worth it.
