Folkestone Borough Police
Folkestone Borough Police was the borough police force for the town of Folkestone in Kent. It was formed in 1851 under the terms of the Municipal Corporations Act 1835.
== Early History ==
The force was formed in 1851 under the command of Superintendent James Steer.〔Policing Kent 1800-2000〕 They operated out of the basement in the Town Hall. On 9 June 1851 Mr Steer arrested James Johnson, a member of the Teetotal Society of Hastings, for being drunk and disorderly in a public place. On locking him up in a police cell, Steer gave him bread and water, and returned a short time later to check on him to find that he had hung himself. Steer cut him down immediately, but he was declared deceased.〔South Eastern Gazette 10 June 1851〕 In 1857 the Folkestone Police Watch Committee made an application to the London Metropolitan Police for the appointment of a police detective to the ranks. This would be William Martin, who succeeded Steer as chief officer in July 1857. Martin led the force until 1872 when he died after a short illness, and was succeeded by John Moulden Wilshire, another London officer. Wilshire was thought to have been an alcoholic, and died in 1880 aged only 39. His successor was Samuel Rutter, and later, John Taylor from 1883. In 1899 the head of the force was renamed Chief Constable.
