Bristol City Constabulary

Bristol City Constabulary, also called Bristol City Police, was a police force responsible for policing the city of Bristol in south-west England until 1974, when it was amalgamated under the Local Government Act 1972 with Somerset and Bath Constabulary and parts of the Gloucestershire Constabulary to form the Avon and Somerset Constabulary.

Unlike most city forces, the force was officially a constabulary, the usual name given to county forces, since Bristol was a county as well as a city.
