*Set* Lancashire Constabulary, Manchester & Salford Police Helmet Plates and Manchester City Police and Greater Manchester Police Cap Badges. BA 889. - BA 889
After many complaints over several years over the crime ridden state of Lancashire, it was decided in 1839 that a combined county police force was required to police the county. In the same year the force was founded, and Captain John Woodford was made chief constable with two assistant chief constables, 14 superintendents and 660 constables. On 1 April 1968, as a result of a compulsory amalgamation scheme under the Police Act 1964, the force was abolished and, along with Manchester City Police, became part of the new Manchester and Salford Police. This new force lasted only 6 years when on 1 April 1974 the Manchester and Salford Police was amalgamated with a number of other police forces and parts of police forces to form the Greater Manchester Police which polices the area to this day. Greater Manchester Police was directly created from two recently amalgamated city police forces, Manchester and Salford Police and parts of what were Lancashire Constabulary, Cheshire Constabulary and West Yorkshire Constabulary on 1 April 1974. The city forces were Manchester Borough Police, which formed in the late 1830s and Salford Borough Police, which began in 1844. All plates and badges in good condition *enamel missing on city Police badge, see images*. The price for all four includes UK delivery. BA 889.
