Frank Richardson (police officer)
Frank Richardson (1851–1938) was an English policeman. He joined the Birmingham City Police in 1873 as a constable third class. Within one year he was promoted to constable second class and one year later to constable first class. In 1878 he was promoted to sergeant within the same force, and in 1882 he applied to be chief constable of Hereford, Herefordshire and was successful. He remained in this post, receiving the King's Police Coronation Medal in 1912〔The King commanded a new decoration for long and meritorious service〕 and being decorated〔 at Buckingham Palace in 1917. He was at that time the "Most Senior Chief Constable of England" 〔Most Senior Chief Constable was a title given by the Chief Constables Association, at that time, by virtue of his length of service in that post- 34 years to date in Richardson's case.〕 He had married in 1870 and had nine children of which seven were sons with only one not joining the police service. In total he and his family provided 176 years service to the constabularies of England and South Africa. Between 1903 and 1920 there were three Chief Constable Richardsons in office.〔Newspaper, The Hereford Times, Oct 1931.〕 He was also the chief fire brigade officer of Hereford, adding many innovations to the fire service.〔Fire Service, Distributing hand held extinguishers, documented Hereford Museum.

==Early life==
Frank Richardson was baptised Frank Richardson Green.〔He was to change his name later by dropping "Green". Deed Poll, dated 8 January 1886. Lodged at Somerset House, London. Viewed 1995.〕 He was the fifth child of James (1823–1885) and Alvina (1828–1886) Green, of Upton St Leonards, near Gloucester, Gloucestershire.〔Census of England, Parish Upton St Leonards, The Portway. April 1851.〕 His father was a builder, stonemason and bricklayer, who usually employed about five or six men. He was also a deputy overseer.〔City Police Intelligence, Complaint, ''Gloucester and Cheltenham Journal'' 24 April 1858〕〔James Green, gives Character reference, man accused of being drunk in the village, ''Gloucester and Cheltenham Journal'' 9 November 1867〕
At the age of five he went to the village school. From the age of eleven until seventeen he attended a prestigious school in central Gloucester. Like his brothers and sisters, he also had to work on the family smallholding. His father and grandfather had a strong work ethic which was passed on to all the children and in Richardson Green's case it led to him using his home knowledge to set up his own business in Gloucester at the early age of seventeen. At twenty he married Mary Taylor (1851–1894)〔Details unknown but they renewed their vows in Cheltenham in 1885.〕 and they immediately moved to Birmingham where he started another business.〔Census of England 1871. Newtown View, Birmingham. 141. Page 15.〕 Later in the year Frank Richardson Green and his wife returned to Gloucester, where their first child was born. For a while he ran a successful business in central Gloucester but in August 1872 they returned to Birmingham where he joined the Birmingham Police Force.
