200 years of policing celebrated in Leamington
Quote:

‘ELLO, ‘ello, ‘ello – two hundred years of policing is being celebrated in Leamington.

The inauguration of a formal police force in Leamington took place on June 10, 1825.

And in partnership with the Leamington History Society, Warwickshire Constabulary History Society has arranged event to commemorate the bicentennial.

An exhibition titled ‘Policing in Royal Leamington Spa’ is currently running at Leamington Art Gallery and Museum at the Pump Rooms.

The Leamington Borough Police HQ was housed in what is now the Leamington Polish Centre on the High Street from 1825 to 1947, and until 1968 was the original Leamington Police Station.

Following the merge of the Borough Police with Warwickshire Constabulary, a headquarters was established at Woodcote House in Leek Wootton in 1947, and Warwickshire Constabulary officially became Warwickshire Police in 2001.

The exhibition runs until the end of September.
