The only museum of its kind in the nation, the mission of the Black Police Precinct and Courthouse Museum is to collect, preserve, and exhibit the history of Miami’s Black law enforcement.
The Black Police Precinct and Courthouse Museum acquires, preserves, displays, and promotes collections of a historical nature that will be of educational value to the preservation of Black history as it relates to the struggles and accomplishments of Black Police Officers in Overtown, as they served during the pre-Civil Rights era of the 1940’s, 50’s, and 60’s. The museum displays police memorabilia, artifacts, documents, video, and word-of-mouth stories by the men and women who worked there.
