The foundation aims to collect so-called exhibits (such as smuggling hiding places, concealed weapons, etc.) and other curiosities (such as counterfeit money, burglary tools, espionage utensils, etc.). The collection can be made available to the authorities and personnel of the border guard, customs, police, prison, airport security and other law enforcement agencies in Switzerland as a teaching aid for training and further education. The collection is intended to contribute to raising awareness in the fight against smuggling and crime and to increase the safety of law enforcement officers. The foundation is a non-profit organization and does not pursue any commercial purpose.
