SCOPE: the Victoria Police Museum only. The force’s own page, read directly. Supports the official name Victoria Police Museum; that it is operated by Victoria Police; that it holds "300+ historical police objects, including: Australia’s largest collection of Kelly Gang armour" together with uniforms, equipment, forensic evidence and technology; that it is at 313 Spencer Street, Docklands; and that "Entry is free." Establishes nothing about any other Australian force’s collection. THE EARLIER READING OF THIS PAGE WAS WRONG, or has been overtaken. It was recorded as pointing at a separate museum site; a direct request returns the museum's own holdings sentence, and the scope anchors on it.
