The Derbyshire Police Collections were passed into the care of Derbyshire County Council in 2004 as a gift from Derbyshire Constabulary. The collections include police uniform and equipment, crime related materials, books and documents, and a photographic collection.
Staff at Buxton Museum and Art Gallery have been developing exciting partnerships to bring the collection to diverse audiences in Derbyshire through a series of themed touring exhibitions visiting libraries and community centres around the county. The exhibitions aim to highlight important community messages as well as enlighten, entertain and interest the public.
