Leicestershire Police〔http://www.leics.police.uk/about/〕 is the territorial police force responsible for policing Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland in England. Its headquarters are at Enderby, Leicestershire. The current Chief Constable is Simon Cole. ==History== Leicestershire Police was formed in 1839. In 1951 it amalgamated with Rutland Constabulary to form Leicestershire and Rutland Constabulary and in 1967 merged with Leicester City Police to form Leicester and Rutland Constabulary. After the Local Government Act 1972 came into force in 1974 it was renamed Leicestershire Constabulary. In 2012 it changed to Leicestershire Police to be 'in keeping with modern policing'.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Police force slammed for 'pointless' name change )〕 In 1965, Leicestershire and Rutland Constabulary had an establishment of 748 officers and an actual strength of 659.〔''The Thin Blue Line'', Police Council for Great Britain Staff Side Claim for Undermanning Supplements, 1965〕 Proposals made by the Home Secretary on 20 March 2006 would have seen the force merge with the other four East Midlands forces to form a strategic police force for the entire region. These plans were dropped in 2007. 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「Leicestershire Police」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
