A HISTORY OF SOME OF THE MORE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE PARISH CONSTABLES OF THE 1770'S INTO THE STAFFORDSHIRE COUNTY AND STOKE-ON-TRENT CONSTABULARY OF THE 1970'S.
Abstract
DURING THESE TWO CENTURIES A VARIETY OF POLICE FORCES HAVE EXISTED IN BOROUGHS AND IN THE COUNTY. THIS COLLECTION DOES NOT SET OUT TO PROVIDE A DETAILED HISTORY OF ANYONE OF THOSE FORCES BUT RATHER TO DELINEATE THE POLICE FORCE IN URBAN AND RURAL AREAS OF STAFFORDSHIRE BY SOURCE MATERIAL RELATING TO THE COUNTY POLICE, THE VARIOUS BOROUGH POLICE FORCES, AND THE SINGLE POLICE FORCE FOR THE WHOLE AREA THAT HAS EXISTED SINCE 1968. THE NOTES PROVIDE BACKGROUND INFORMATION TO PUT THIS SOURCE MATERIAL IN ITS CONTEXT. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT)
