Book Synopsis The Bombay City Police: A Historical Sketch, 1672-1916 by : S. M. Edwardes
Book excerpt: This interesting book covers the history of the law enforcement officials who manage the city of Bombay, India (present-day Mumbai) during its colonial era. Until 1655, Bombay was under Portuguese control. The Portuguese formed a basic law enforcement structure in this area with the establishment of a Police outpost in 1661. After the cementing of British Rule in India after the 1857 war of Indian Independence, in 1864, the three Presidency towns of Bombay, Calcutta and Madras were given Commissioners of Police.
