The Bradford Police Museum

Really enjoyed the visit to the Police Museum, the staff are really friendly and our tour guide, Charlie, was really informative, giving us an insight into the history of policing in Bradford City. Lovely to learn the differences (and similarities) to how GMP’s predecessors operated, before it was founded in 1974. Lovely to talk to David outside, giving tips on joining the police, and him telling us about his time in the job. Would definitely recommend.

We brought our Scouts for a ghost tour around the cells. Martin and the other staff were very friendly and showed us around, including the drama of the court room and the dark and dimly lit cells! Not recommended for the under 10's! The exhibition in the museum itself was very interesting.Worth noting that there are no toilets on site.

Must place to see and even enjoy a go in the police car for £1 donation if you don't have time to go in.

I visited with my family and we thoroughly enjoyed the museum tour we recently had the pleasure of experiencing. It was an absolutely fantastic visit that left a lasting impression on all of us.The attention to detail and the thought put into creating an immersive experience was truly commendable. The exhibits were well-curated, and the interactive elements added a dynamic and interactive dimension to our exploration.The passion of our guide, Rahem, was evident in every aspect, from the meticulously maintained displays to the warm and informative interactions we had with the guide. It was clear that the team's dedication to preserving and sharing the history of Bradford police was the driving force behind the exceptional quality of the tour.As a result of this unforgettable visit, I would like to extend my highest recommendation to anyone seeking an enriching and enjoyable cultural experience. The museum tour not only offered a glimpse into the past but also sparked curiosity and conversations that continued long after our visit.Thank you for providing such an outstanding experience. We left with a renewed appreciation for the police force, and we are eager to return for another inspiring journey through your museum.

Fantastic place to visit definitely recommend it. Graham our tour guide was very good . They are all volunteers and we're police themselves. You go in the original cells and court house. Absolutely amazing history. Bradford is full of fantastic history and fabulous buildings.

What a wonderful tour today with RobinWe got stuck in traffic & couldn’t find the museum , he came outside to wait for us & was so lovely & patient, we were a couple of minutes late but he was very kind, not irritated at all. Nothing was too much trouble for him. In fact we saw 2 other staff members & they too were very niceYou could tell they loved what they doThe tour was fantastic, very informative, I don’t know how robin remembered it all.Worth every penny & more, fantasticWould go again

Greatly enjoyable tour of the old Police station, the staff were extremely nice, and very knowledgeable about the museum and its exhibits. Charlie our tour guide was fantastic, so thank you Charlie!

I had such an amazing experience at Bradford police museum! The tour was a great insight into the history of policing in Bradford, and I learned so much about famous people who have used this place to film court scenes, such as Emmerdale and Peaky Blinders. The inside of the place was incredible, especially the courtroom and prison cells, which were used to film some of the most iconic scenes in television history. The tour guide was really good and explained everything in detail, making it both entertaining and informative. He even gave us tasks to test ourselves, which allowed us to experience how it felt to work as a police officer. We were allowed to take photos and film, but there was one part of the tour where we weren't allowed to take photos or film, which was a cell that had many names of people. As a criminology student, this tour helped me out massively, and I learned so much that I never knew before. Even though I attend historical events at cemeteries, this tour helped me understand the history of policing in a whole new way. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in the history of policing or just wants to have a fun and informative experience!

Had a fun tour with Robin. He was extremely informative and interesting. Very good at interacting with the group.Our 11 year old grandaughter really enjoyed it. She was amazed at some of the things from the olden days.All the staff were friendly and helpful, making our day out really enjoyable.Enjoyed looking in the museum shop which was reasonably priced, with some nice little gifts.
