Winchester City Police was the police force of Winchester, Hampshire, England from 1832 to 1943. The City of Winchester became the first place in Hampshire to set up a police force, four years before any other part of the county, and seven years before the county force was established at the end of 1839. The force was established with an Inspector (Robert Buchanan) and seven constables on 28 July 1832. They were given an office in the Old Guildhall (now Lloyds Bank) to run the force. The new police station would serve Winchester well for almost 100 years until the 1960s.

has abstract	Winchester City Police was the police force of Winchester, Hampshire, England from 1832 to 1943. The City of Winchester became the first place in Hampshire to set up a police force, four years before any other part of the county, and seven years before the county force was established at the end of 1839. The force was established with an Inspector (Robert Buchanan) and seven constables on 28 July 1832. They were given an office in the Old Guildhall (now Lloyds Bank) to run the force. The force nearly folded through lack of funds, but with the Municipal Corporations Act 1835, Winchester formed a Watch Committee and was able to secure funds to keep the police force. Funds were always a cause for concern for the Winchester police, when the Hampshire force was established, in 1839, the county council tried to incorporate the Winchester police, but the city watch committee always voted to keep an independent police force. In 1873 Winchester built a new Guildhall which included a purpose built police station with cells and barracks for the single officers. One of the constables wife’s was paid to be the station cleaner, the single officers contributed to a fund for the cleaner to act as housekeeper for them. By this time the establishment of the force had more than doubled. The new police station would serve Winchester well for almost 100 years until the 1960s. (en)
