The two Assistant Chief Constables are Guy Hindle and Mark Roberts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cheshire.police.uk/about-us/departments-and-structure/chief-officers.aspx )〕 ==History== A constabulary was first formed under the Cheshire Constabulary Act 1852. The first Chief Constable was Captain Thomas Johnnes Smith, late of the Bedfordshire Militia. The first full Cheshire Police Committee met at the Crewe Arms Hotel, Crewe, on 3 February 1857 and the new Cheshire Constabulary was officially formed on 20 April 1857.〔(Cheshire Constabulary: History of Cheshire Constabulary ) (accessed 27 May 2010)〕 The first Headquarters was established at 4 Seller Street, Chester. In 1862 this office was removed to 1 Egerton Street, Chester and remained there until 1870, when it was removed to 113 Foregate Street. In 1893 the Court of Quarter Sessions approved the building of a new Headquarters which was erected at 142 Foregate Street and designed by John Douglas, at a cost not exceeding £2,000. This continued to be used, together with the adjoining buildings, until 1967, when a new purpose-built Headquarters was opened at Nuns Road, Chester. This building served the Constabulary until 2004 when the Headquarters building moved to a purpose-built complex at Clemonds Hey, Winsford.〔 In 1965, the force had an establishment of 1,359 and an actual strength of 1,329.〔''The Thin Blue Line'', Police Council for Great Britain Staff Side Claim for Undermanning Supplements, 1965〕 It was proposed by the Home Secretary on 6 February 2006 that Cheshire should merge with the Merseyside Police, to form a strategic police force, but these proposals were later abandoned. The Museum of Policing in Cheshire preserves and researches the heritage of policing in the county. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cheshire Constabulary」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
