About the Event
Conference
Delegates and presenters from across North America come together to explore the modern world of police museums. Held in Fort Smith, AK, sitting on the beautiful banks of the Arkansas River, the United States Marshall Museum (USMM) covers the history of the U.S. Marshals from their inception in 1789 to the present in five immersive galleries. Presenters will include museum staff and other experts from the field with assistance from the Law Enforcement Museums of North America steering committee.
Perfect for professionals, volunteers, and students working in Museums, Heritage Education, and Cultural Centres. This year’s three-day conference offers workshops and programming provided by leaders in the field of museum planning, organizing, and operations, exciting tours of local law enforcement-related museums and attractions, and unbeatable networking opportunities.
