    Nice place to visit, and free of charge

    This museum is well put together, and offers some history of the Portland Police. The admission is free of charge, and it is open about 4 days a week for 6 hours at a time.

    Portland Police Museum

    Open from 10 to 3 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday. If you have time in downtown Portland go by and look at some of Portlands history. This is about the police with some interesting displays and artifacts.
