Somerset Constabulary

[1] It was formed as a result of the County and Borough Police Act 1856.

Somerset Constabulary was amalgamated with Bath City Police on 1 January 1967 to become the Somerset and Bath Constabulary.

As a result of the Local Government Act 1972 this new force was short lived, lasting just 7 years when on 1 April 1974 it became part of Avon and Somerset Constabulary which polices the area to this day.

The Police Roll of Honour Trust[4] lists and commemorates all British police officers killed in the line of duty.

It lists 16 Somerset Constabulary officers who were killed/died during its existence including:
