Located behind white gates on Acharya Prafulla Chandra Roy Road, formerly known as Upper Circular Road, is a charming colonial bungalow. It was once the residence of Raja Ram Mohan Roy, and is currently the location of the Calcutta Police Museum. A set of rooms featuring exhibits from the force's history displayed in glass cases and on the walls. The accomplishments of the police between independence and the 1970s are showcased in another room. Above the door of the most significant room is a placard that reads, "1919 to 1947". The time frame between independence and the Great War. The lives and tales of Bengal's liberation movement heroes are detailed in pictures and displays that showcase artefacts from the conflict. However, a few succinct words outline the Calcutta Police's role in fighting them. One more room has three ancient photographs of two Indians and an Englishman. This is the origin of contemporary fingerprinting, and the room is dubbed the 'Fingerprinting Room.'
