History

The museum traces its history back to 1904 when a collection of artefacts was founded in the cellar under Copenhagen Court House. The current museum was inaugurated in 1993. It underwent a thorough refurbishment in 2004.

Building

Fælledvej Police Station, or Station 6, opened on 21 October 1884. It maintained a staff of 64 policemen: One chief police officer, four superior police officers, 11 inspectors and 46 ordinary policemen. The top floor contained a residence for the head of the police station. First floor contained accommodation for 16 unmarried policemen. The police station closed on 25 May 1977.[1]

Exhibitions

The ground floor contains an exhibition about the history of the Danish Police Corps from its foundation in 1682 until the present day. First floor contains an exhibition about a criminological exhibition, featuring different forms of crimes as well as police investigation. The museum also hosts a special exhibitions. [2]

gollark: ComputerCraft computers are pretty feature-complete with just the built-in software, so most "OS"es are just fancy GUIs.

gollark: * logs incidents to

gollark: Right now I'm actually working on a web UI for the system it logs "incidents", i.e. people uninstalling it, disk signature validation errors, banned programs being run, sort of thing.

gollark: It comprises thousands of lines of bizarrely written code which does... stuff, and things. It kind of works like a fuzz tester for emulators and stuff because it does bizarre exotic things it possibly shouldn't and exposes bugs in things.

gollark: One of my largest projects is an "OS"/arguably-virus for ComputerCraft called PotatOS.
