He was my wife’s Great Great Grandfather. She was also a police officer. She spent 30 years with Durham Constabulary. William was one of the few Chief Constables of his era to come up through the rank structure. Most of his contemporaries were appointed Chief with no prior police experience. There’s a considerable amount of academic research involving William as he led the Middlesbrough police at a time the town was rapidly expanding .
