BREVARD COUNTY • TITUSVILLE, FLORIDA – The American Police Hall of Fame & Museum has purchased a 5.1-acre parcel of land contiguous to its current property located between State Road 405 and Horizon Drive in Titusville.

The acquisition includes 467 feet of frontage along State Road 405, according to American Police Hall of Fame & Museum CEO Barry Shepherd.

Additionally, Shepherd noted that the anticipated projects will add to the appeal of the Titusville region as a tourist destination.

“We are all about giving visitors access to a facility that inspires and motivates them, but also one that is just plain fun. If we can educate and challenge folks while they are enjoying themselves then we are truly leaving a lasting impact,” he said.
