Cleveland Police Historical Society & Museum in Cleveland, OH 44113

Although the Cleveland Police Historical Society & Museum displays include some death masks and disturbingly grisly photos of murder victims (most famously, of the Kingsbury Run or "Torso Murders," committed in the 1930s, and yet unsolved), most of the visitors are elementary aged children on school tours. So, don't be mislead by the gory details other guides may highlight; the museum is actually chock-full of educational, interesting exhibits. The museum includes a nod to women in the history of law enforcement, Cleveland's many contributions to modern police technology, and the Eliot Ness era. Guided tours are available by reservation only; contact the museum in advance to schedule your tour.
