Click to zoom
This richly detailed volume by Ian A. Watt offers a compelling account of law enforcement across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight from the early days of parish constables to the modern force’s formation in the mid-20th century. Drawing from officers’ records, personal memoirs, and historical archives, Watt reconstructs the daily realities of policing through riots, strikes, and rural patrols, capturing the discipline, duty, and quiet heroism of those who served. Originally commissioned by the Hampshire Constabulary Historical Society, this second-hand hardcover edition remains a valuable resource for local historians, genealogists tracing family ties to the force, and collectors of regional history.
