Hidden just near The Peak in the former Wan Chai Gap Police Station, the Police Museum is a thematic exhibition gallery that showcases a wide range of police archival items. The 570-square-meter space has just gone through a head-to-toe renovation, and presents a broad spectrum of artifacts categorized into four galleries: the Orientation Gallery, the Triad Societies and Narcotics Gallery, the Hong Kong Police: Then and Now gallery, and the Current Exhibition Gallery (which is now showcasing the police dog unit).
