Bath City Police
The Bath City Police was a police force responsible for policing the County Borough of Bath in Somerset, England. It existed between 1836 and 1967.[1] The Bath City Police, as an organization, was formed as a result of Municipal Corporations Act 1835, though it did not begin commencing duties until 15 February 1836.[2] In 1852 the force had a strength of 86 police officers.[3]
It was then merged with the Somerset Constabulary in 1967 and formed the short-lived constabulary of Somerset and Bath. This constabulary, in turn, was amalgamated into the Avon and Somerset Constabulary in 1974, which polices the area to this day and employs over 2000 officers.[4][2]
