Maidenhead Borough Police

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maidenhead Borough Police was the police force responsible for policing the borough of Maidenhead in Berkshire, England until 1889.[1]

It had been established in 1836 as a result of the Municipal Corporations Act of 1835. Maidenhead Borough Police was amalgamated into Berkshire Constabulary on 1 April 1889, as a result of the Local Government Act 1888.[2]

Maidenhead is today policed by the successor to Berkshireshire Constabulary, Thames Valley Police.
