Without Fear or Favour: The History of the Royal Burgh of Dumfries Police 1788 - 1932

3.5/5 ( ratings)

In 1787 King George 3rd signed the 'Beer Act' , that allowed Dumfries Burgh council to gather tax to pay for “…..a measure to provide for the paving, cleansing, lighting and watching of the burgh, for which there had long been felt a necessity.”From a handful of watchmen working at night, through public executions at Marchmount and Buccleuch Street, a world war, the amalgamation with Maxwelltown and the final amalgamation with Dumfries County Constabulary, Dumfries Burgh police grew from a few hardy men protecting the burgh into a fully-fledged police force.This history of Dumfries burgh police chronicles how the force began, how it developed, who was in charge and most importantly, the names of all the officers that can be found to have served with the force from 1788 until 1932 when it amalgamated with Dumfries County Police to form Dumfriesshire Constabulary. A policeman’s lot, wasn’t always a happy one.
