The SSPOM organization was created in 2007 in order to establish a first class museum showcasing the rich history of the American law enforcement profession. Opening in July of 2009 within the historic 1877 Storey County Jail in fun filled Virginia City, Nevada. The museum features the largest known private collection of U.S. law enforcement memorabilia and has fascinated all visitors since opening in 2009.
American law enforcement badges, documents, restraints, photographs, uniforms, wanted posters and other related artifacts dating back to the 1780's.
A research room is currently under development and will include law enforcement related information from throughout the United States.
All exhibits are law enforcement history related and include static exhibits, video and slide show productions, and interactive computer kiosks.
Closed in winter.
