Met Police Oral History
In June 2007 we received a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund and we have recorded oral history testimony from over 90 officers (1930s to present). Click the link below to listen to interview example.
Grosvenor Square 17 March 1968 Sound Clips
We have also been donated recordings of an officer who joined in1898 (1) and 1919 (5). We are continuing to record interviews with support from the National Association of Retired Police Officers (NARPO).
This large sound archive has been condensed into a 6 hour accessible, narrated, CD - The Coppers' Story. This CD is supported by a booklet containing a general introduction to Metropolitan Police History, a glossary of police terms and slang, a description of contents and contact details. A copy of The Coppers' Story has been sent to all London's Local History Libraries/Archive Centres.
All enquiries, please contact the Oral History group here.
