Hull/Sculcoates police

[Duane Dibley]

Does anybody know if there are any records available for Policemen in the Sculcoates force around 1850 or so.
If I remember correctly it came into being around 1830.
Thanks

Try the following site

Local governent run all police forces in the UK with the exception of the Metropolitian Police which is run by central government. As a result of this, any police records in the Hull area will not be held by the National Achives and are therfore not public documents.

Also the following book maybe of some use.

J Bridgeman/C Emsley, A Guide to the archives of the police forces of England and Wales (Police History Society, 1990).

Hope these links are helpful.

A cousin is one of three generations in Humberside police. Can see if they could help if you get stuck.

The new archives in Beverley has quite a few registers from the Hull police, There was not a Sculcoates Police but the Central Division in Hull covered that area,

Could you give me any information on contact details for this Beverley archive, please.

If you search for this document it lists each police force under each county and the archives that are held and who to contact.

 Hi again,
  I have a book "The policemen of Hull" which lists every officer in the force from May 2nd 1836 when the force was formed and up to 1973 if you wish I can look up dates when sworn in and police collar numbers, just give me a rough date
