Wallingford Borough Police was the police force responsible for policing the borough of Wallingford in Berkshire, England until 1856. [1]
It had been established in 1836 as a result of the Municipal Corporations Act of 1835. Wallingford Borough Police was amalgamated into Berkshire Constabulary on 8 September 1856, when the borough authorities voluntarily agreed to let Berkshire Constabulary police the borough. The three serving constables of the borough force at that time were discharged. [2]
Wallingford is today policed by the successor to Berkshireshire Constabulary, Thames Valley Police.
