Crime fighting is in the spotlight at Police Station No 11 (1926), now repurposed as a museum. Exhibits trace the history of the LAPD, from its humble beginnings in 1869 to the modern force of today. There's fascinating background on some of the city's most notorious crimes, but don't expect much on the more controversial aspects of the department.
