ALBUQUERQUE – After being closed for nearly two years due to the pandemic, the Albuquerque Police Museum has re-opened.
The museum was founded in 2008 and was dedicated to Police Chief Paul A. Shaver. Shaver joined the ranks in 1933 as the department’s 27th police officer. Shaver served as Chief for 27 years before retiring in 1971.
The museum includes memorabilia dating back to the late 1800s, to include daily journals from Chief Shaver. 
Many of the exhibits were donated or loaned by current and former APD officers.
