Background
History
The museum first opened in 1973 at the Kent Police headquarters in Maidstone. The museum closed in 1992 due to space constraints and then reopened on 26 July 1994 at the Chatham Historic Dockyard, a maritime museum in Chatham, after the Dockyard Trust granted the use of an old boiler house. It relocated to a temporary accommodation back at the Maidstone headquarters in September 2015 and then moved to its current location in Faversham on 8 December 2016.
