Title: Policing Northamptonshire 1836-1986.
Description: Studley: K.A.F.Brewin Books, 1986. 0947731210. 1st edition. "Northamptonshire police history is a complex affair. Since 1836, four separate police forces have been established in the county, and over the years, these have evolved into the single force that we have today [1986]. The boroughs of Northampton, Daventry and Higham Ferrers were all obliged by law to form forces in 1836, whilst in 1840 the county of Northamptonshire voluntarily established its police force. Because they were completely separate, every one of these forces developed in its own individual way and produced its own peculiar characteristics and history.."
