Here is a link to a site with a list of Police Officers, their ranks and station etc.

or

It appears that this site may have shifted, but have not been able to locate its new site. If anyone knows the new web address, could you please post on here.
Thanks Cougar (May 2008)

Once I found my great grandfather in the police records I was also able to order, from the same site, two newspaper articles relating to his retirement and his obituary...marvellous! Thankyou again. I hope other people have as much success with it as I did.

Hi
If your father was in the Police Force in c1950 (and he is since deceased, I assume) you should be able to get some information from the Police archives section - I would think that perhaps each county holds their own archives, if not, might be in central London.
Hope this helps.

Both great sites ! Now, how to search for someone who was in the Railway Police in the 1840s ?
