"This is a part of American history. Please make time to see this amazing facility! The museum guides are knowledgeable and relay the historical facts in a way that encourages you to ask questions. They show you how important it is to have a police force within the community that is also part of the community. Please make some to see this"
"My grand heartbeats and I took a small tour. It was educational for us. I was so excited to see all the officers that I knew personally. The most exciting part was seeing my mother's name as a pioneer of the Black Precinct. I can't wait to return for a full tour."
"This place was outstanding. The captured history was wonderful to view. It was very informative. I believe the preservation of history is very important. You have to know where you were so you can see accomplishments and navigate forward. It is very easy to walk through, observe and take in some important black history. I hope you enjoy it as I did."
"Full of history and definitely makes me a greater appreciation for those who work as officers today and grateful for those who paved the way. You are blessed to learn your history because you are less likely to take your blessings for granted."
"This was my second visit to the museum, once with my dad at the opening and returning to pay homage. It is always an eye opener to see what he and his fellow officers endured during the earlier days so we can have the black officers of today. The Museum is an awakening, historical and extremely knowledgeable experience that provides a look back into the of City of Miami Black Police History. Recommend everyone to stop my and read the articles see the displays, read the letters, it will truly be memorable."
