Glastonbury Borough Police was the police force responsible for policing the borough of Glastonbury in England between 1837 and 1856.[1]
Glastonbury was one of the original 178 boroughs named in the Municipal Corporations Act 1835 which required boroughs to appoint a watch committee with a duty to appoint sufficient numbers of constables. As a result, Glastonbury Borough Police came into existence in 1837 with two sergeants and two constables to patrol the borough.[1] A government report in 1852 stated that the force only had two constables to police the borough at an annual cost of only £6. It is therefore believed that the force was part-time. [2]
The county in which Glastonbury is situated, Somerset, had no modern police force until 1 September 1856 when Somerset Constabulary was formed. Glastonbury Borough Police was consolidated into the new Somerset Constabulary at around the same time as the county force commenced operations.[3] The headquarters of the new county force was situated in Glastonbury initially.[4]
Today, Glastonbury is policed by the successor of Somerset Constabulary, Avon and Somerset Constabulary.
