Museum stop: New Zealand Police Museum

From Summer Times, 11:10 am today

Today for our museum stop we're pulling into Porirua, where a facility initially created as a teaching resource to assist detectives is now wide open for the public.

With over 20,000 visitors a year, the New Zealand Police Museum contains evidence from some of New Zealand's most infamous crimes - and while the adults are busy with that, the kids can try on police uniforms and take a seat on a police motorcycle.

Museum director Rowan Carroll joins Anna Thomas.

Two children look at glass display cabinets with myriad weapons hanging up.
