The Kent Police Museum is located at Faversham Police Station in Kent, England. The museum is open Thursday to Saturday 10am to 4pm between Easter and October. The station is currently closed to the public. The museum was previously located within Chatham Dockyard. In September 2015 it relocated to temporary accommodation at the Kent Police Headquarters in Maidstone, and moved to Faversham on 8 Dec 2016. The website address is www.kent.police.uk/kent-museum.
The museum includes displays on the history of the Kent County Constabulary which was established in 1857, as well as the fourteen earlier borough or city police forces, all of which had amalgamated with Kent County Constabulary by 1943.
The museum's memorabilia collections include, uniforms, equipment, medals, photographs, scenes of crime evidence, and occurrence and charge books. Its collection was started in the 1960s and the museum was first opened in 1973.
