Some visitors find the interactive elements engaging, particularly for children who can try on replica uniforms or sit in a police car. The staff, often retired police officers, are generally described as knowledgeable and friendly, adding value to the experience with their personal insights.
However, some visitors note that the museum is relatively small and can be explored quite quickly. The exhibits, while informative, may not be as extensive or up-to-date as some might expect. Additionally, as it's located within an active police building, security procedures can sometimes cause minor inconveniences for visitors.
