Cardiff City Police

Cardiff Borough Police was a police force for the Borough of Cardiff, formed in 1836.[1] It was later renamed Cardiff City Police in 1905 when Cardiff attained city status.[2] Notable events in its history included dealing with the 1919 race riots in the city.[3][4]

It became defunct in 1969 on its merger into the South Wales Constabulary.[5] Its archives are held at Glamorgan Archives[6] and it is also represented in the South Wales Police Museum.[7]
