After 17 years of operation, the Hanoi Police Museum has become a familiar destination, attracting a large number of officers, soldiers and people of the capital as well as domestic and international tourists to visit and learn. This is not only a place to display and introduce valuable artifacts, documents and images, but also a "special school" for officers, soldiers and people, especially the young generation, to better understand the heroic tradition, the bravery, intelligence and creativity of the capital's police force.

Faced with the increasing demands of propaganda and political and ideological education in the new situation, and at the same time to meet the growing needs of the people and tourists, the Party Committee - Board of Directors of the City Police Department has decided to comprehensively renovate and upgrade the Museum.

After a period of active and urgent work, the renovation and upgrading of the Museum has been completed with a spacious and modern appearance, applying many advanced display technologies; synchronously combining the display content with creative design solutions for interior, graphics, sound, light, and audio-visual equipment.

Nearly 1,500 documents, artifacts, and images are collected, displayed, and scientifically arranged according to each space and each historical period, accompanied by a system of information and articles in three languages: Vietnamese, English, and French, helping people and tourists at home and abroad easily access and deeply feel the historical value and glorious revolutionary tradition of the Capital Police force.

Along with the renovation and upgrading of the Traditional Museum, the City Police also officially put into operation the Hanoi Police Digital Museum. This is an important step forward in applying digital technology to the preservation, display and promotion of historical heritage. Through the online platform, people, students and domestic and foreign tourists can visit and learn about the Museum anytime, anywhere; access a rich archive of documents and artifacts with 3D images, multilingual explanations, virtual tours and many other modern conveniences.

Speaking at the ceremony, Deputy Director of Hanoi City Police Nguyen Ngoc Quyen requested the units assigned to manage and operate the Museum to continue to promote a sense of responsibility, regularly supplement and update artifacts and documents, and apply more modern technological solutions so that the Museum becomes more and more lively, truly becoming a "red address" in political and ideological education, not only attracting officers and soldiers but also an attractive cultural and historical destination of the capital Hanoi.

The Deputy Director of the City Police also requested to focus on training and fostering a team of qualified officers and tour guides with a deep understanding of the history and traditions of the Capital Police, to act as a "bridge" to bring historical values closer to the public. In particular, it is necessary to regularly research and innovate the content and form of exhibitions, associated with major political and cultural events of the country, the Capital and the Police sector so that the Museum always attracts and creates a deep impression in the hearts of every officer, soldier, people and tourist.
