represented on the Roll of Honour

The names of officers from over 300 police forces are included in the Roll of Honour.

Historically, since the late 18^th century, more than 700 police forces have existed in the United Kingdom and British Islands. These comprised some 540 'geographic' city, borough and county forces and some 170 commercial, transport, and public authority forces. Over the years amalgamations of forces (the last major one in 1974) have reduced the number of forces to about 70 to at the beginning of the 21^st century: -

52 geographic forces - 43 in England and Wales, 8 in Scotland and 1 in Northern Ireland;

3 Island forces, 3 National forces and about 12 Parks, Ports, Airports and Tunnel forces.
