First established in 1930 by the Ministry of Interior, the Police Museum was assigned under the then Special Branch, the Royal Thai Police with the objective to house evidences from crimes that could be beneficial to police personnel or investigators’ further studies. As the number of these evidences increased, the idea of setting up the Police Museum became materialized. The venue was before changed for several times in which it used to be located at the Royal Thai Police Academy, the Royal Thai Police Headquarters before its final and current venue at Parutsakawan Palace. The museum consists of two buildings:

          Chitralada Villa, Parutsakawan Palace: The first floor is separated into Exhibition Room 1, Meeting Room and Police Archive Room (back). The first section illustrates the history of Chitralada Villa since its early days as the royal residence of King Rama VI. The second section is turned into a spacious meeting room and reenacts the event when the People’s Party occupied the area in Parutsakawan Palace.

          The second floor is divided into Exhibition Room 2 and Exhibition Room 3. For the first section, His Majesty the King graciously presented the replica of the Nirantarai Statue of Buddha (Double Statues of Buddha) to be housed here exclusively for the Royal Thai Police. In Exhibition Room 3, photos of His Majesty the King performing His royal duties concerned with the affairs of the Royal Thai Police are portrayed, along with the royal family members’ words and duties related to the Royal Thai Police.  

          In Exhibition Room 4, the events when His Majesty the King graciously launched the grand opening of Naresuan Fort, Hua Hin District, Prachuap Kiri Khan Province and visited the people in impoverished areas are presented.  

          Meanwhile, His Majesty the King’s royal duties in graciously providing assistance to the Royal Thai Police’s communication and initiation to solve traffic issues are presented in the Exhibition Room 5.

            Glass Building: This two-storey building is divided into upper and lower levels. For the upper floor, history and roles of the Royal Thai Police starting from the Sukhothai Period to the current days are illustrated along with the relations between the Monarchy and the Royal Thai Police, and the Royal Thai Police Academy where the spirit of the police is ingrained. While the lower floor houses presentation on each police unit’s role. Apart from maintaining the people’s safety at all times, the police is tasked with delivering them the experience of being good citizens. The ancient gun station, which is now located in the Thai Police Aviation Division, was once housed here.
