Hi, don't know if you can help or pass me on to the right place, Joseph Graham was born 1883 Haverton Hill, on the 1911 census he was a police constable at Heworth Durham district Gateshead, it was a police station he was there with Thomas Lambert and his family, he was a police sergeant, there were a few other police constables boarding there, I'd love to find out more about Joseph being in the police force, don't know if I'm at the right place but it's a start I suppose.
Thanks in advance.

They are at Felling Police Station, here is a side-by-side map view showing where it was/still is. It is now derelict, you should be able to find it on streetview: Sunderland Road, Felling.

He is on the 1939 register & his occupation suggests he remained in the police force after 1911. He is living in West Hartlepool in 1939 but sorry - I can't help with info re whereabouts of any employment records for him

Thank you
