He was a member of C division and his number is 513, Can I get this information or will I be stone walled because I?m not a blood relative?

Robin Lumsden Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 (edited) Hello Al.Welcome to a fellow ex-cop!It will depend on the age of the uniform.Numbers are usually reallocated when officers retire, so there will have been several officers with that number over the years.If I were you, I'd email the London Metropolitan Archives (who hold old City of London Police personnel records) and ask them for what info they can provide..............explaining why you want it.Here's the link..........http://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/Corporation...s_and_archives/If the uniform is an old one (say, pre-1950s), I don't think they'll have any Data Protection issues in supplying the information you want, if they have it.

Paul R Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Welcome to the GMIC, "Ex-Cop". I would love to see this uniform. Please post an image of it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 ExCop, As Robin says City of London Police hold there records at the London Metropolitan Archive. Are you sure its a City uniform it should have gold bottons?If it has silver or black it will be a Metropoltan Police uniform who Police the whole of London except the square mile. There C Division now covers the City of Westminster not to be confused with the City of London.CheersCraig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
