Overview

Most of us have a semi-complicated relationship with the police. You curse them if their red-and-blue lights appear in your rearview mirror, but you're thankful for their services if anything fishy arises. All in all, we agree that they're a necessity. The NSW Police is the largest police force in Australia. Officially formed in 1862, it is celebrating 150 years of law enforcement. Commemorate this monumental anniversary by visiting the Historic Houses Trust's exhibition, The Force. Peruse the extensive collection of photos, objects, and video footage which illustrate the evolution of the force from its earliest days, changes in the NSW public attitudes and the transformation of police technology.
