From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Reading Borough Police was a police force for the borough of Reading in the United Kingdom. The force was created in 1836, at which time it had a strength of 30 constables, two sergeants and two inspectors.
In 1968, Reading Borough Police were amalgamated with the Berkshire Constabulary, the Buckinghamshire Constabulary, the Oxford City Police, and the Oxfordshire Constabulary to form the Thames Valley Police.
