Hello ronnie7366,

I believe that the Metropolitan Police Historical Collection have some documents for officers in the 20th Century. So my suggestion would be to give them a try. Details are at the bottom of the linked page. If you can find out when he left you may be able to look for a pension record at the The National Archives - which would give you more information. There could also be more information in the police orders at the National Archives - but you would need to know what and when to look for.

Hope that helps, BarnabyP

Hello Jaz,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I have had a look through the documents that I have photographed. I have found a James Hales West who left the Metropolitan Police Force in 1919 with warrant no. 68302. You can find his leaving on MEPO 4/346 Page 27. He is on attestation MEPO 4/354 page 37. His joining is also recorded in MEPO 4/335. I feel quite sure that he would also have received a pension, which can be viewed at The National Archives.

Hope that helps, BarnabyP
