At the time of the transfer, a new project for the museum was developed for the institution, which now aims at gathering, preserving, cataloging, and exhibiting historical material related to Brazil's military police forces and, in particular, to the State of São Paulo Military Police and its predecessor corporations, such as the State Public Forces and the São Paulo Civil Guard, as well as other extinct corporations, such as the Maritime and Air Police, the Women's Police, the Night Guard, and the Special Police Division. On July 25, 1994, the museum gained its current name and had its purposes redefined.
