About us:

	The Cambridgeshire Branch Members of this branch are retired Police Officers who have served in the present Cambridgeshire Constabulary between 1st April 1974 and the present day and/or one of the Police Forces from which it evolved. In the mid 1960's five Police Forces were amalgamated. They were Cambridge City Police which had evolved from the Cambridge Borough Police, Cambridge County, Huntingdonshire Constabulary, The Soke of Peterborough Combined Police Force which had evolved from the Peterborough Liberty and Peterborough City police forces and the Isle of Ely Constabulary which had evolved from Wisbech Borough Police. On amalgamation of all these forces on the 1st April 1965 the new much larger force was called Mid Anglia Constabulary and some members will have joined during its short nine year life. It was on the 1st April 1974 that the Mid Anglia Constabulary changed its name to the Cambridgeshire Constabulary. It should be understood that there were two branches of Narpo operating within the boundaries of the enlarged County of Cambridgeshire during those days, to the south the Cambridge branch and to the north the Peterborough branch. Although Peterborough has now become a Unitary Authority it is still policed by the Cambridgeshire Constabulary and on the 1st January 2007 the two Narpo branches amalgamated to form one Cambridgeshire branch.
