The Common Room / Probation records S.W. police court pre-1940

I haven't been on this site for a while but I'm always hopeful. Tricky one this one. I have the details of someone mentioned in a Barnados Home record dated 1940.
It mentions someone (who is almost certainly deceased)
It says .....address known to Probation Officer S.W. Police Court (this would be London).
It mentions that he was in the RASC as a motor mechanic and it gives his service number. I have found 3 entries in other records referring to the man with this service number. That hasn't helped me at all in finding out anything about him. ie DOB would be brilliant.
I can't for the life of me find how to get hold of RASC service records so I wondered about tracing the court record of when he was obviously in trouble. Otherwise, why would a probation officer know his address?
So my major question is....
Where could I find records for the S.W. Police Court? It must be pre-1940.
I've crashed around National Archives but so far no luck.
Many thanks in advance.
