Barnsley Borough Police

Barnsley Borough Police was the police force operating in county borough of Barnsley, England from 1 July 1896 until 1 October 1968.

Until 1896 Barnsley was policed by the West Riding Constabulary. In June of that year the borough appointed its first chief constable and formed a separate police force. The force was merged with other forces in 1968 to form the West Yorkshire Constabulary. The area passed to the South Yorkshire Police in 1974.
