Randall) (A) are permanently appointed to duty in the Prisoners' Property Store, which is placed under the Chief Inspector of the Executive Branch, who is to submit detailed rules for its management, especially as regards the custody of money and other valuables."

The Metropolitan Special Constaulary proved vital during the General Strike. #PoliceOrders #OnThisDay a century ago bore news that Commissioner Nevil Macready had been recalled from retirement to be Chief Staff Officer to its head Walter M Allen. #OTD #GeneralStrike100
Entry in Police Orders with two points, the first summarised in this post and the second giving Commissioner William Horwood's congratulations to the regular and special officers of the Met for their conduct and part in "the preservation of order and the maintenance of public confidence".

Three days after #VEDay, #PoliceOrders featured a letter from John Miller Martin, Winston Churchill's Private Secretary, passing on the PM's thanks for the "conspicuous success" of the "admirable police arrangements" on VE Day and the day after. #VEDay80 #MetAtWar #VEDay2025
Publication of Martin's letter of 9th May, stating Martin stating that Churchill had seen the police arrangements from his own car and that "Considering their reduced numbers, the police had to cope with a formidable task in handling such large and enthusiastic crowds".
