The Museo de Policia Municipal de Madrid is a unique place in the heart of the city, located inside the area of the old Cuarteles de Daoíz y Velarde, near the Retiro district. It houses a historical collection that traces the evolution of the police from ancient constables and urban militias to the modern municipal force.

The exhibitions showcase historical uniforms, work tools, medals, building models, and vintage photos, illustrating technical and social transformations: from the Mounted Section to the first motorcycle brigade and the traffic service. The museum also includes a rich collection of miniatures and foreign uniforms, such as a jacket donated by the New York police used on September 11, which testify to the international dialogue in the world of law enforcement.

At the entrance, an introductory video recounts the main stages: municipal protection under various monarchs, the formal birth of the force in the 19th century, and the involvement of women starting in the 1970s, up to the modernization of the service in recent years. Alongside the historical objects, there is a commemorative panel dedicated to police officers who died in service.

Visits are free for groups by reservation, organized by the Municipal Police. They are guided and last about an hour, offering an educational format perfect for school groups, tourists interested in local history, or those seeking a different cultural experience.
