This is a free activity. The museum tour is led by an active National Policeman. It takes about an hour, at which point he'll invite those that want to leave to leave and he'll continue on with those that want to stay. In the second half of the tour you'll see some real highlights like an armory with all the weapons used by the police and a roof-top viewing of the city's skyline. In the first half there is the world history of law enforcement, the development of Colombia's police force, and the story of the capture of several big criminals including Pablo Escobar. I found the museum to be extremely interesting and our tour guide was very charismatic.

Located downtown. I didn't realize it was a guided tour so I had to wait around for about 15 minutes until they found an English speaking tour guide. My guide was Oscar - pretty good English even though he said his English was quite poor! There is no charge for the guide. The famous Pablo Escobar room and a floor full of confiscated weapons - swords, guns etc. That's the reason why you have to be guided around the museum. Nice place to visit for a few hours.
Strongly recommend you come here, tours in English leave on the hour every hour and go for about an hour. The tour guides are young police officers. The highlight of the tour is the 2 rooms dedicated to Pablo Escobar and the NArcos. They have some great exhibitions. They police were so excited about showing foreigners what they did and how we came to Colombia. Must come and it’s free!
Amazing place, great exposition, excellent service and you can tell the police giving the tour feel confident and proud of the work they perform
Fantastic Free Tour. Our guide Juan/John gave us a tour in English, it was enjoyable and interesting. We learnt a lot about the history of the police from a very honest point of view. I cannot recommend this tour enough. Tips are welcomed but not asked for.
This is my favorite museum in Bogota. We had a tour in English, the guide was a nice guy, he offered us a coffee at the end. All for free.
Marvellous excursion by the officers! Its exciting for an european to see how proud a country might be about its police and how glad junior officers are to explain tourists about the history of the colombian police!Very pleasant surprise!!
Awesome museum in Bogotá, clearly underated (particularly compared to museum like the Museo del Oro). We had a private guided tour for free. Had the chance to have details regarding the police activity and action during the Narcos period of the country, great occasion to see the "other side of the story" and different point of vue on the issue. Not only that, you have details on the police formation, evolution and their history since the beginning of the 20th Century. All of this, for free. Seriously, do not wonder anymore, this is a must do!
