THE START OF N.A.R.P.O. IN WOLVERHAMPTON!

A Constable's Duties:

The constable's duties were varied. As well as apprehending rogues and criminals, they were 
responsible for moving vagrants on, raising the hue and cry and whipping offenders.
The main records which survive are the constables' accounts which list the amounts paid 
and claimed and details of the claim.

During the 19th century, local council watch committees were authorised to set up police forces and, 
in 1849, the Wolverhampton Borough Police Force was established. The headquarters were 
based at Garrick Street and included a number of cells.

The records of the Wolverhampton Police are held at Wolverhampton Archives. 
The most useful records are the registers of convictions c. 1850 - 1918 that list prisoners, 
their conviction, and usually a physical description.

Convicted criminals could be sent to a House of Correction or County Gaol. 
A House of Correction was opened in Wolverhampton in 1745 but was closed in 1821.
