Time

You probably would not be surprised at the fun a bunch of law enforcement employees have in every endeavor. You might be surprised at the number of opportunities we have for you to partake in that fun. The Greater Cincinnati Police Historical Society is always looking for volunteers. We need help – lots of help – and working the Desk and as Docents at the Museum are just two of them. We need a whole array of talent to keep the Museum and Society functioning at a high rate.  Read more . . .
