POLICE & POLICE STATION DATABASE
Compiled by Helen D. Harris OAM
Copyright 2004-9
(BE PATIENT, THIS TOO IS A LARGE FILE!)
This database has been
compiled from various sources that I have noted while researching in either the
Public Record Office or State Library in Melbourne. It is one alphabetical
order. Please note that the information
formerly detailed in Lists 1 and 2 has now been incorporated in one overall
index, but the explanation of Lists 1 and 2, and how to access the
information, remains just below this
introduction.
I have listed the sources
for all the references, so people living in
The database is by no means
a complete listing of every person who was ever in the Victoria Police Force.
The most comprehensive such list - for the first 100 years of the Force - is
contained on the microfiche Index to Members 1853-1953,
published by the Victoria Police Historical Society, and available for AUD$12
plus $2 postage within Australia. Please make cheques payable to the Victoria
Police Historical Society. The Society's web pages, which include a searchable
database of those police given bravery awards, is http://www.vicpolhistory.org.au
Note also that there
is a series of Index to Candidates for the Vic. Police, details
of which are on the Harriland
Press web page;
around 70% of these candidates were never accepted into the police force, and
these letters of application are the only evidence that they ever applied to
join. There are further applications to
either join

LIST
1: POLICE OFFENDERS 1898
When police committed an
offence against Police Regulations, an investigation was held into their
conduct. Witnesses were interviewed, and the decision reached was communicated
to the Chief Commissioner, who made the final decision on the penalty imposed.
The basic details of the case were entered on a policeman's Record of
Conduct and Service, but the actual investigation details were stored
within normal police correspondence files. Unfortunately there is no index to
police correspondence files prior to 1901. Material covering the period
1853-1893 has been placed into location or subject order, so that if a
researcher knows the location of the policeman in whom they are interested,
they can look in that particular area, but the material from then on is stored
in yearly numerical order only. There is an added complication, in that some
material is not stored in any particular order, and 250 boxes of miscellaneous
correspondence have never been sorted at all. Much of the Index
to Missing people and Index to
Criminal & Other Case Files material on my web pages has
been taken from these 250 boxes, which have a date range of 1853-1939.
While going through these
miscellaneous boxes, I came across two complete boxes filled with reports into
offences committed by police themselves in 1898 and 1899. Much of the 'crime'
is minor - reporting late for duty, not keeping bookwork up to date etc., but
some is more serious, including lots of drunkenness charges. The details of
trivial offences, which were dismissed without penalty, appear on single sheets
of paper, and many have the words 'not to appear on Record Sheet' in the final
column.. Those offences of a more serious nature can have 20-30 pages.
All names in this List have
now been incorporated in one overall index on this page. The actual files for 1898 are in VPRS
[Victoria Public Record Series] 807 Unit 1285, held at the Public Record Office,
and can be ordered for viewing by the public. The files are in no particular
order, and it is necessary to go carefully through to find the relevant entry,
particularly if it is just a single page. The 1899 offences are in List 2.
LIST 2:
POLICE OFFENDERS 1899
These police offenders were
found in VPRS 807 Unit 1308. See List 1 for further details of how to access
the material.
LIST 3:
POLICE, POLICE TOPICS & POLICE STATIONS
FOUND IN MISCELLANEOUS RECORDS
Many of
the records listed here have been available on the Harris Index cards
at the Police Historical Unit since the 1990s. However, as the Unit was
closed to researchers in 2004, I decided to retrieve the cards and enter them
into this database.** After many hours work, all the Harris Index material
was keyed into this database. Please also note that it is not a complete
listing of the opening and closing dates of various police stations, just the
ones I have come across in my research. Further references to police may be
found in my microfiche indexes, detailed on the Harriland Press web page, and in the Index to Missing People web pages.
** October 2004. The
Unit has now been reopened for researchers but, as before, it is necessary to make
an appointment, as space is limited.
