Eluned, when I enquired about Cardiff records last year, I was told that all
documents have been transfered to the Glamorgan Record Office in Cardiff.
Tel no 029 20 780282
They have produced a little booklet, "Guides to Research, No 7 Police
Records". Some books are listed in this, but not the one you are looking
for. The booklet says "Swansea Borough Police Force (ref D/D Con/S) was
established in 1836. It was maintained as a separate force until 1969 with
the formation of the South Wales Police Authority."
Records held by the Glam RO include
Reports and annual reports of Chief Constable to Watch Committee, 1879-83,
1908-15, 1921-68
Orders of Chief Constable, 1921-66
Personnel files, 1920s-1969 (with photographs)
