a very moving experience
This place is a museum, as well as a memorial. It is a fascinating blend of examining the criminal mind, and the results of the criminal mindset. Wonderful displays of weapons, anti-crime memorabilia, police crime-fighting tactics and stories, and old-fashioned police vehicles. The staff is helpful, and informative, and the facility is supported by admission fees, donations, and is staffed by volunteers. Our son is a police officer, and the memorial walls in the atrium of the facility, is especially meaningful, and powerful for us. Over 6000 police officers have been killed in the line of duty, and the names of all those deicated, selfless men and woman, are there, etched in marble. It is a very moving experience. A day spent at the space centerisnot complete, without a tour of the police hall of fame. Dave Gebo, Port Orange, Fla.
