Our Mission
This museum’s mission is to acquire, preserve, display, and promote collections of a historical nature that will be of educational value to the preservation of African American history as it relates to the struggles and accomplishments of Black Police Officers in Over town, as they served during the pre Civil Rights era of the 1940′s, 1950′s, and 60’s.
The museum will be a full service facility. It will display police memorabilia; artifacts; documents; video; and word of mouth stories by the men and women who worked there. It will provide a community center for its citizens, a tutorial center, and learning center for children in the City of Miami’s most underprivileged neighborhoods. It will create outreach programs for juveniles that live in these neighborhoods. The museum will partner with community organizations in the area and develop crime prevention programs, all of which will enhance the quality of life for children and families, making our community a better place to live.
