Today’s DEA Museum can trace its roots back to a collection of early narcotics law enforcement badges. DEA agents and employees then began adding in more objects, photos, and stories from their work. It was these growing collections that became the Museum’s first exhibits.
The Museum was created to recognize the lives and accomplishments of federal agents. As it grew, the Museum took on a larger mission — to present the history of substance misuse in the country and the ongoing role that government has played in addressing this problem.
The Wall of Honor proudly displays portraits of the members of DEA and its predecessor agencies who lost their lives while on duty. DEA continues to honor them in the Museum's lobby. This place of reflection features newly commissioned portraits in a 24-hour illuminated display area and an interactive kiosk that shares the stories of each hero.
In addition to the Museum's new Wall of Honor, you can also see anniversaries and view the complete Wall of Honor list on the DEA Museum website.
