Since December 2004 it functions in a house built during the British Colonial Period which was used as a police residence for several decades.

In 2003 the house was specially transformed and enlarged to meet the needs of the museum after a directive by the then Chief of Police Mr. Tasos Panayiotou so that it could house a richer collection of exhibits regarding the functioning of the police as well as displays of wider historic interest that could be visited by the public.

[4] A substantial part of the Museum is dedicated to the history of the Cyprus Police, with exhibits dating back to the early years of the British period up to the present times.

Moreover, the visitor can discover interesting aspects concerning the development and the detection of crime in Cyprus throughout the decades.

[1] Apart from the purely police-related and crime-related exhibits, the Museum also houses some very interesting items and documents from important periods of the modern history of Cyprus, including the 1955 - 1959 anti-colonial Struggle and World War II.
