Gloucester County Police Museum Seeks Exhibit Items

The Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office submitted the following news release: 

Officers of the Gloucester County Law Enforcement Education Resource Center, who have been planning and fundraising for a county police museum for the past year, are seeking the donation or loan of historic items that can be displayed  in the already-designated museum space on the Gloucester County College campus.

Law enforcement uniforms, badges, hats, batons and holsters (firearms will not be exhibited in the GCC library room where the museum is to be located) radios or other equipment officers used, signage related to law enforcement agencies, photographs or other memorabilia would be welcome contributions to the museum collection.

Donated or loaned items can be dropped off at the Gloucester County College campus security office, where forms will be available to designate whether the items are a gift or are in temporary custody of the museum. The college entrance is on Tanyard Road in Deptford.  At the security office, ask for Director Joseph Getsinger.

The museum is expected to open to the public in late 2013 or early 2014.
