Information

Essex Police Museum is a museum in Chelmsford, Essex, covering the history of policing in the county since 1840, including the Essex Constabulary and such borough forces as those for Colchester and Southend-on-Sea.[1]

Established in 1992, the Museum also covers crimes solved by those forces, such as the Rayleigh bath chair murder, and officers killed in the line of duty, such as PC George Gutteridge. Its collections include 16 oil paintings, all but two of which are 20th-century portraits of modern and historical officers by Detective Sergeant Jack Bridge.[2][3]
