Alcatraz East Crime Museum – National Police Week

During National Police Week, May 12-18, visitors who work in law enforcement will receive free admission.

Alcatraz East Crime Museum is honoring law enforcement during National Police Week this May. During the special week, law enforcement officers will be eligible for free admission and additional perks, and they will open some new related exhibits. Law enforcement officers are invited to visit during the week and explore the new exhibits dedicated to them and what they do for our communities.

The special week will celebrate all law enforcement officers and honor those who have lost their lives in the line of duty. During National Police Week, all law enforcement officers can show their current badge for free admission into the museum. They will also be able to get half-off admission for up to four guests who accompany them. Tickets can be obtained at the box office when visiting.

New exhibits will honor law enforcement and be ready for guests to explore. The new exhibits include:

• Hustling Heroes – Guests can test their ability to catch suspects in a foot chase with this new interactive exhibit in the Police Training Room. Guests will also learn about the dangers of foot pursuits that police are involved in daily, which put them at a tactical disadvantage. 
• National Law Enforcement Patch Display – Guests can check out a display of law enforcement patches from around the country. The various authentic patches represent local, state, and federal agencies.
• California Highway Patrol Cruiser Door – Alcatraz East Crime Museum obtained a rare vehicle door from a California Highway Patrol vehicle that is now on display in the Police Training room.
