Government
Reports On Police
- 1835 -
In 1835 the government held an inquiry
into the conditions of the police services in New South Wales. It asked
for a written report from every District so that it could study and make changes
where needed.
Below are some of those written reports. In them you will read as it was back in
those days, and the hardships that were part of being responsible for the
every-day running of those Districts.
The Committee (consisting of the Colonial Secretary, the Attorney
General, Mr Berry, H. H. M'Arthur, and Mr Bell ) was appointed to
"..enquire into and report upon the establishment and strength of the
Police Force and all it's branches, to what extent it may be expedient to
maintain it, and the expense it will occasion, and to enquire into the
capacity and condition of the Gaols in the colony, and to report what
additional buildings appear to be required, and the probably expense of
providing them.." .
