In a state governed by law, no person may be convicted unless he or she is found guilty. The objective of the Police is to serve the state and protect the citizens by preventing and investigating crimes.

The exhibit clues can be found through the third door on the left when you enter the military hospital. The English translation of the exhibit can be found in a booklet by the door.

The police collect pieces of a puzzle and try to put the pieces together to form a picture that will show the court what probably has happened on a scene of a crime. The tactical investigators collect information and interrogate witnesses. The technical investigators are intended “to interrogate the silent witnesses”, that is to interpret the physical clues on the scene of a crime. What may a fingerprint, a footprint or a strand of hair tell us?

Witnesses may forget, misunderstand, and even lie, but we say that the silent witnesses never lie. Or is it that simple?

The exhibit contains real evidence from Norwegian crime cases from the early 20th century to today.
