During National Police Week, May 10-16, visitors who work in law enforcement will receive free admission.
Alcatraz East Crime Museum is honoring law enforcement during National Police Week this May. During the special week, law enforcement officers will be eligible for free admission and additional perks, and they will open some new related exhibits. Law enforcement officers are invited to visit during the week and explore the new exhibits dedicated to them and what they do for our communities.
The special week will celebrate all law enforcement officers and honor those who have lost their lives in the line of duty. During National Police Week, all law enforcement officers can show their current badge for free admission into the museum. They will also be able to get half-off admission for up to four guests who accompany them. Tickets can be obtained at the box office when visiting.
In honor of National Police Week, Alcatraz East Crime Museum will be adding new items to their Crime Fighting Gallery, all related to K9 Aggie, a Tennessee police K-9 from Collierville, Tenn. K-9 Aggie was the sibling to one of Sevier County Sheriff’s Department’s first K-9 officers. Items to be added to the display include Aggie’s collar and favorite tennis ball.
Adding to the celebration of Police Week, Alcatraz East is inviting guests to check out the K-9 meet and greet that will be held on Friday, May 15, 2026, from 10 am to 2 pm. The meet-and-greet will feature K-9 Merry and K-9 Diesel, both from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation’s K-9 Division, along with K-9 Juno from the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation’s K-9 Division. All three of the K-9 officers are highly trained and serve as accelerant detection canine officers. They will be visiting with guests to share more about the important work they do in the field. The event is free with general admission to the museum and will be held in the lobby.
