Chief of a force, something "****land police"

[NormanW]

Need help with some extra brain cells please....

Does anyone know of a Chief of a colonial force C WWII or later, something "****land police", whose name was Woodgate?
I have this black and white photo of the first St. Albans police box, which was on the corner of London Road and Cunningham Street.  So far, so good.
The text is hard to read and faded:
1932 PC Woodgate     ****** the force
became Chief of ? ******land? Police
The first police boxes, London rd. by Cunningham Hill  Insp G Wright
Self in sidecar    L H Shipper
Where did PC Woodgate become Chief of?
There are few UK force names which end in "***land";
Northumberland, Sunderland, Cumberland & Westmorland, but only Sunderland was a police.  He wasn't chief of Northumberland or Sunderland and I can't find the names of the Cmb & West'land Constab chiefs.
I have been through my list of forces and can't find any others.  Am I missing something obvious?  Could it be Sudatenland or another colonial force by any chance?
Photoshop doesn't help bring out any latent detail, it just makes the script even harder to read!

I've used some manipulation to darken the handwriting, although it does affect the quality.  Hopefully it helps somewhat.

Thank you for your efforts.

A suggestion from a retired colleague from St Albans is that it may be De Havaland (sic De Havilland) Police.  The DH factory was at Hatfield, the next town.

I'm aware that in WWII several aircraft companies involved in secret defence work set up their own police, like the GAC - Gloucester Aircraft Company.  I wonder if De Havilland did the same?

I agree, the writing looks like De Havilland.
