It's a hidden treasure! Quite a small museum, but full of interesting things to see. It tells the history of Hong Kong Police Force.
I am very positively surprised that everything is very well presented. There's a cartoon display of HK Police's daily work, special events in history (from 1890s-now). It is one of the best animations in a museum that I have seen. It is full of cute characters in the story telling, it is lively, it shows us some important events in the force's 100+ years history. I saw many young parents bringing their kids to visit this museum. The adults and children all enjoyed the visit enormously.
I also enjoyed the short documentaries of 4x of HK's biggest crime cases in history - how the police cracked the heart of organised crimes and a very mysterious murder case. It reminded me that in the 90s, HK was once full of crimes and dangers. Today, we are one of the safest cities on the planet, thanks to the HK Police!!
It will take about 45-60 minutes to finish the visit. Then, one can take Bus No. 15 right next to the museum to the Peak. Perfect weekend out for a family.

Not the easiest museum to access but an interesting place to spend half an hour if you have hiked to this location by way of the Wan Chai Gap (Green Trail) from the north or up the Aberdeen Country Park trails from the south.
What you will find are 5 exhibition galleries with over 1200 items and photographs on display. The museum is curated pretty well, display items are a nice range and include English text for explanation. The galleries cover the storied history of the Hong Kong Police Force well and provide a good half an hour of learning opportunity for those...
