Hello dear community of Hive I hope you are well, this time I invite you to see my second tour of the main tourist and historical attractions in the center of the city of Bogota, as it says in the title is the Palace Historical Museum of the National Police.
The historical and cultural museum of the National Police of Colombia is a non-profit institution with the aim of conserving, preserving and maintaining the history, in the stages of the police over the years, has guided tours by officers themselves, with more than 400 pieces and explosions where you can see vehicles, weapons, equipment, and documents of the progress of the times of the police institution, the museum is open Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 am until 4:30 pm, the entrance is free, the address is Calle 9 No. 9-27, Candelaria locality.
Upon entering the museum we are attended by a police officer who tells us that we must wait in the recession room until the guide arrives, where you can see a representation of the fight of the vase act that started the independence of the country that measures about 7 meters high by 5 meters wide. (The tours take place at 10 in the morning, 2 and 4 in the afternoon).
Upon arrival the guide, a very kind sub-lieutenant, takes us to the main entrance hall, welcomes us and explains how the place became a historical museum and patrimony of the country, as well as the security and biosecurity measures that we had to take at every moment of the tour.
In the first room there is an anti-explosives robot designed by the police research academy, which was designed to defuse possible explosive bombs by shooting water at very high speed, there is also a model of a prison carriage from 1912-1919 that had three policemen guarding the prisoners, then the second lieutenant shows us the first printing press of the police magazine of the country that is currently in circulation called "magazine" and finally a motorcycle operating in the second world war created by the security corps of the country.
From that moment begins the tour of the entire palace and the beautiful architecture of the place, the museum consists of a basement, first, second, third and fourth floor which is a rooftop, also a curious fact is that the museum was the police headquarters of the country for long periods in the past.

After this the police guide, took us to the main hall, answered some questions asked by those present, gave us the farewell and this was the end of the tour, in conclusion this walk through the museum of the Colombian national police, has been one of my best tours through the history and memory of a great institution that has managed to move through its different bitter and difficult stages that marked a country, with a motto God and Country, are 157,820 police officers who 24 hours a day ensure the safety and protection of all the inhabitants.
