In 1960, retired Police Chief Gerald Arenberg established the American Police Hall of Fame Memorial and Museum in a 3,000-square-foot building in Northport, Florida. It relocated in 1989 to a 38,000-square-foot, three-story building in Miami, Florida, previously occupied by the FBI. In 2003, land was purchased in Titusville, Florida, an area known as the Space Coast, where a new 50,000-square-foot facility was built. It is the nation’s first and largest museum and indoor memorial dedicated to law enforcement officers nationwide who were killed in the line of duty.
