Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Police Museum is a museum that traces the
history and growth of the police force in India. It is located just
opposite the Kollam Junction Railway Station in Kollam, India. The
museum is dedicated to barrister and statesman, Vallabhbhai Patel.
The museum was opened in 2000. In addition to arms and ammunition of
the 18th and 19th centuries, including bullets, guns, machines, and
a diversity of other weapons, the museum houses information charts
on DNA tests, human bones, fingerprints, snapshots of police dogs
and a variety of medals awarded to policemen of different ranks. A
concrete statue of Vallabhbhai Patel, weighing 1.1 tons and sculpted
by Police Constable Mr. Santosh, was unveiled in January 2005. |
