Inverness Constabulary
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Inverness Constabulary was a police force in Scotland that covered the entirety of the county of Inverness.
It was created on November 16, 1968, as a merger of the Inverness Burgh Police and the Inverness-shire Constabulary or Inverness County Police. Inverness Constabulary merged with the Northern Constabulary and the Ross and Sutherland Constabulary on May 16, 1975, as part of the creation of the regions of Scotland. The resulting force was also called Northern Constabulary.
The force's only Chief Constable was Andrew L McClure, who had previously been Chief Constable of Inverness-shire Constabulary, and then went on to become Assistant Chief Constable of the new force.
Thomas Sorley had been Chief Constable of Inverness Burgh Police, and he was appointed Deputy Chief Constable of Inverness Constabulary. He was appointed Deputy Chief Constable of the (new) Northern Constabulary on its formation.
