Reading Borough Police

The Reading Borough Police was a police force for the borough of Reading in the United Kingdom. The force was created in 1836, at which time it had a strength of 30 constables, two sergeants and two inspectors.[1]

In 1968, Reading Borough Police were amalgamated with the Berkshire Constabulary, the Buckinghamshire Constabulary, the Oxford City Police, and the Oxfordshire Constabulary to form the Thames Valley Police.[2]
