Tracing a family member
If you are trying to trace a family member who served with Gloucestershire Constabulary we may be able to help. Visit the official website to find out more gloucestershirepolicearchives.org.uk/
You can use the website to browse a selection of photographs and memories taken from our fascinating archive. Whether you are a serving or former member of the Constabulary, have an interest in local police history, or want to find out about a police ancestor, this site has something to offer. Please contribute your feedback, stories and memories.
A 100 years of women police
Our new exhibition on 100 years of women police will be showcased during the Heritage Hub open day and the Crown Court open day (both part of Gloucester History Festival) and at the Constabulary’s own open day on 15 September
The move
We will also soon be packing up ready for our move from Stroud Police Station to our new room in the Heritage Hub ready for the opening on 2 September. The archive is being boxed up ready for the transfer.
