From the website...The NYPD’s tribute to 165 years of service features exhibits on its history and the tools of its trade, including vintage uniforms, squad cars and firearms. More notorious artifacts are also on view, including a gun used by one of Al Capone’s minions in the 1928 murder of Frankie Yale. Critics have accused the institution of whitewashing police brutality and other scandals, although visitors can participate in a simulated police gunfight and determine if the shooting was warranted.
