Pondicherry Police Museum

Puducherry Police Museum : A Journey Through Law & Order

The Puducherry Police Museum stands as a unique institution, preserving and showcasing the rich legacy and evolution of law enforcement in Puducherry — from the colonial French era to present-day Indian governance. Officially inaugurated on July 10, 1992, the museum is located in the heart of the city and serves as a public educational space as well as a tribute to the contributions of the Puducherry Police Department.

This museum is more than just a collection of memorabilia. It aims to bridge the gap between the police force and the public by offering a transparent look into the tools, uniforms, technology, and history of the police department.

Armoury Section – A Glimpse into Police Weaponry

One of the highlights of the museum is its dedicated Armoury Section, which displays an impressive collection of arms and ammunition used over the decades. From historical firearms used during the French rule to modern weapons adopted by today’s Indian police, the section serves to spark curiosity and educate visitors about the evolution of policing technology.

For safety, maintenance, and management, the Armoury Section falls under the supervision of the SI/Armoury, operating as an extension of the Central Police Armoury (PAP). A dedicated staff member is assigned to maintain this section, ensuring public access is both safe and informative.
