A complete set of 86 years of the 'South Australian Police Gazette' from 1862 through to 1947 (the currently allowed year for publication due to privacy laws).

Compiled to be distributed amongst the Police Force only, Police Gazettes contain details and information that can not be found anywhere else. Produced at regular intervals (usually once a week), it was a way of making information available to all in the Police Force throughout the whole state.

The information contained in the Police Gazettes does vary a little from year to year, but overall you will find details of any changes within the police force which are all listed (promotions, demotions, discharges, resignations, deaths), information is also given on housebreak-ins, robberies, arson, murders, deserters from service or from families, warrants issued, prisoners discharged, missing friends, lost and found items and more. Notices from police gazettes from other states are also often included.

Now searchable, these Gazettes on CD open up a world of interesting and comprehensive information about individual people and their lives in South Australia's past.

Fascinating searching and useful information for anyone interested in South Australia's history and people.

Each year is available individually.
