Police Records
On Saturday 22nd April Gloucestershire Constabulary records management staff and Police Archive volunteers held a busy open day at Waterwells for serving and retired officers and members of staff. They gathered new contacts, documents and photographs and there was a lot of reminiscing.
Sue Webb, who was employed by the Constabulary as Police Archives Project Officer for a fixed period, is now working at Gloucestershire Archives and producing interactive learning resources that will help people to learn more about Constabulary history.
Both new and established Police Archives volunteers are busy reorganising display items, transcribing documents relating to the early history of the Constabulary, identifying items for the next few Force Open Days and planning for the move to the Heritage Hub.
