represented on the
Roll of Honour
The names of officers from over 300
police forces are included in the Roll of Honour.
Historically, since the late 18th
century, more than 700 police forces have existed in the
United Kingdom and
British Islands. These
comprised some 540 'geographic' city, borough and
county forces and some 170
commercial, transport, and public authority forces.
Over the years
amalgamations of forces (the last major one in 1974)
have reduced the number of
forces to about 70 at the beginning of the 21st century:
-
52 geographic
forces - 43 in England and Wales, 8 in Scotland and 1 in Northern Ireland;
3
Island forces, 3 National forces and about 12 Parks, Ports, Airports and Tunnel
forces.
