Best Police Toys for Kids of 2023

The Take-Along Police Station from Playmobil provides everything you need for your crime-fighting adventures, in one complete and portable set.

One police officer monitors operations from the dispatch and control area, which is around the corner from the computer-equipped front desk. When the motorcycle officer tracks down the criminal, they are locked into the jail cell.

But be careful — the bad guy may escape through the breakaway window.

All of the furniture, figures, accessories, and the vehicle fit inside the closed police station, minimizing the risk of lost pieces. The fun can be expanded with other items in the Playmobil police line.

Your vehicle-loving kids will get the best of both worlds with this LEGO police truck because it doubles as a mobile command center.

Drive the model to the scene of the crime. Then flip up the side panels to reveal a mini-command center complete with a jail cell.

Fold the back of the truck down to create a ramp for the police motorcycle and ATV that are ready for crime-fighting action.

Use the vehicles to chase down the crooks when they escape from LEGO jail. Send in the police dog and coordinate the entire operation from the command center hot seat.

For kids from 3 to 8 years, this ride-in police SUV has flashing lights in the grill and across the top of the windscreen. It has a microphone and speaker, which is great for those potentially dangerous traffic stops and variable volume police sirens for those times when you have to fight crime quietly.

There are built-in songs and the ability to stream music via a Bluetooth device. A fully charged battery gives 1 to 2 hours of playtime, depending on how much you use the lights, sirens, and musical modes.

An adult can control the vehicle with the battery-powered remote, or a child can drive independently using the in-car pedals, steering wheel, and wing mirror.

This is a realistic patrol officer’s costume with embroidered patches, real buttons, and actual pockets rather than the printed on versions you get on other dress-up clothes.

The best thing about this costume is that it comes with all of the accessories a budding police officer might need for a busy day of protecting and serving. Along with the shirt, pants, and hat, you also get a walkie-talkie, belt, whistle, and holster.

Patches on both shoulders, an embroidered police patch on the chest, and POLICE across the back of the shirt in large white letters combine to make this feel like a real uniform, and not just a costume.

When you need eyes in the sky, only a police helicopter will do. This isn’t just any police helicopter because it can be used along with other PlayMobil sets.

If you chase the bad guys somewhere the helicopter can’t follow, lower your police officers to the ground and track them down.

With working rotors, your child can manually rotate the blades to induce hands-on fun and learning. This item is perfect for children ages 18 months and older.

This remote control car from KidiRace works on 2.5 GHz technology so you can play with up to six other 2.5 GHz vehicles in the same area without interference.

With a built-in rechargeable battery, there’s no need to scramble for a screwdriver to open battery covers. The car comes with a mini USB charging cable and wall plug. A full charge takes about three hours and provides 30 minutes of driving time.

The remote is a game controller style unit. You can use it for drive controls and turning the lights and sounds on and off.

RoadBlock is a puzzle game for fans of all things law enforcement.

The game board is a grid onto which a series of 3D buildings and a “getaway” car, mounted onto a tile are placed. Players must place the police cars, which are also mounted onto shaped tiles, onto the grid to prevent the criminal from escaping.

The getaway car’s initial placement is dictated by one of the 80 challenges in the puzzle booklet. The problems become progressively more difficult as you progress through the book, meaning the game can be played by players of any age and abilities.

This kit includes all of the pieces you need to build a miniature LEGO-themed police car.

Consisting of 92 pieces LEGO accessories which include a police officer and two traffic cones, this toy will surely encourage imaginative play. Your child will learn about constructing a police car from scratch as well as strengthening their planning skills.

The police car is the star attraction of this 35-piece playset.

A red and blue working light bar sits atop the removable roof and can be turned on or off via the button on top.

Being able to take the roof off makes it easy to put the police figures into their seats. There is plenty of room in the back for an additional two figures. That’s always useful if you are going to be apprehending criminals.

The tailgate opens, which allows your officers to load and unload their fully stocked equipment case behind the fold-down rear seats.

The majority of “police walkie-talkies” for kids are non-functioning, plastic boxes that are fun for pretending, but not so much fun if you want to communicate. However, although they are not in the style of the main radio with a shoulder mic, these walkie talkies do work.

They can be used hands-free and can be set to work on one of 20 channels and 99 CTCSS. If you put them on the same settings, any number sets can be used together to talk on the same channel.

Depending on terrain, these walkie talkies can cover a impressive range of up to 8,000 feet.

This police officer’s megaphone works just like the real thing.

All your child has to do is switch it on, hold it up to their mouth, and talk away. Their words will be amplified and projected for everyone to hear, and there’ll be no ambiguity over what orders they give.

For those times when instructions are not required, or there’s no time to give orders, this megaphone also has a bright and loud police siren to ensure everyone moves out of the way, fast.

It has a fold-down handle and a strap that is attached which allows your child to play the megaphone over their shoulder.

These are realistic-looking, metal police handcuffs, with two handcuff keys. The cuffs are the older style of restraint with two wrist pieces that are connected by a flexible chain.

Your child will also receive a full-size police badge in this set. The badge is a gold color, metal shield with dark blue enamel style details.

It is mounted on a leather-look backing. There is a metal belt clip on the back of the badge, or it can be worn around the neck on the ball chain, which is included.

This 8.8-inch long, 3.5-inch wide police car has headlights and realistic engine sounds. It is capable of drifting and fast 360-degree spins as well as tight turns in both forward and reverse.

Batteries are not an issue, as this robot comes with rechargeables included, as well as a USB charging cable. The video game controller style remote uses two AA batteries, but these are not included.

With the press of a button, the front of the police car lifts, and the vehicle transforms into a remote control robot that can move and spin on the spot.

The large transporter truck is a vehicle that can be played alone. But it also serves as a storage location for the ten accompanying police vehicles.

Flip down the front of the tractor unit, and it becomes a ramp. Your child can then place a vehicle in the opening created. Then press the lever at the truck’s side and see your car, SUV, or armored unit shoot out and drive off.

The vehicles are all-metal, die-cast models, with some plastic accents, and the set also includes a semi-truck and a helicopter.

Provide a space to hide away from the rest of the world and play, as well as a pretend police headquarters, with this large police station tent from Hauck.

Printed to look like the exterior of a police station, the Hauck play tent has a footprint of 58 inches by 28 inches. It stands 41 inches tall.

The hollow pole and sleeve construction makes this tent both easy to assemble and to put away. The front door is a two-piece flap, so there are no parts to break. There is also a roll-up window on one side of the tent.
