Essex Police Museum - Past and Present
The Essex Police Museum, at Essex Police Headquarters in Chelmsford is a treasure chest of historical objects and information, dating back to 1840, all providing clues as to how the police service has developed to be the organisation it is today.
The Museum preserves the history of Essex Police giving visitors, both young and old, the opportunity to get involved in educational and craft activities covering a variety of subject areas including the Victorians and World War II.
Visitors can also view a range of historical materials including personnel, disciplinary and other records together with more general documents and a large photographic collection.
The museum has now become well known as an outstanding educational resource for school children and community groups including Scouts and Guides associations.
In the last five years visitor numbers to the museum have doubled but sadly, due to the current economic climate and pressure on the force budget to find savings of up to £43 million by 2014, the police museum is at threat of closure.
Working with the community on a daily basis Essex Police would like to give local organisations the opportunity to become a partner with the force by sponsoring the Museum. Working together we can help to ensure it stays open to the public, preserves the history of Essex Police officers and staff and continues to inspire even greater achievements from future generations.
The opportunities for organisations to directly support the Essex Police Museum take many forms, for example, you may like to sponsor a particular display within the museum or contribute to educational activities that run throughout school holidays.

Essex from a Police Car, c. 1947 (VA 3/4/1/1)
Film created by Essex Police to show examples of careless driving in several towns around the county. The film was made in c. 1947: 16 years after the first Highway Code was published, and 12 years after driving tests were introduced.
The footage is shown twice: once at normal speed with commentary, and once at slow motion so you can fully appreciate the crimes against road safety.
The original 16mm film, made in c. 1947 and now held by the Essex Police Museum, was converted onto VHS tape by Vidia Productions in 1993. This digital copy was made from the VHS version, and is posted with kind permission of the Essex Police Museum and Vidia Productions.

21 Facts from the history of Essex Police
This video marks just some of the many landmark events in Essex Police's 173 year history. When was the rank of sergeant introduced? Which year saw the introduction of the first CID officers? When did the Special Constabulary begin? All these questions and more are answered.
The Essex Police Museum was opened in 1992 with a mission to preserve, document and display this rich history for the people of Essex. As a registered charity, the museum houses collection of objects, paper documents and photos dating back to 1840 with several fascinating displays including grizzly murders and policing during the Victorian and wartime periods.
Essex Police Museum is celebrating its 21st birthday by hosting a history and craft fair at Essex Police Headquarters in Chelmsford on Sunday, September 22 from 11am to 4pm.
As well as a variety of history craft stalls there will be an outdoor tea room selling cakes in the Chief Constable's garden. Other attractions include several police dogs, a Victorian photo booth, facepaints, police cars, craft stalls, games and trails.
Becky Wash, Museum Curator said: It is fantastic that we are celebrating the museum's 21st birthday! The craft day will be a lovely way to mark this milestone birthday with so much to see and do for all ages.
Over the years the museum has seen lots of changes but it continues to thrive and preserve the history of Essex Police. We will do all that we can to ensure that the museum is successful for another 21 years.
The backdrop to this event is the beautiful Edwardian red-bricked headquarters, built in 1903 as a home and offices for the Chief Constable. Today the building is rarely seen by the public.

From the barracks to the beat
An army officer is recognised for a 30 year military career, as he embarks on a new endeavour as a police officer and swaps serving his country for serving his community.
On Friday (February 23), we welcomed 65 new recruits into our police family during a special ceremony at our HQ in Chelmsford.
The ceremony was particularly special for one individual officer, Pc Scott Noonan, as he was recognised for his 30 year career with the Army during the ceremony with a Meritorious Service Medal.
Scott was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal in the New Year’s Honours list in recognition of his fine service and outstanding achievements during his military career.
Brigadier Dave Neal, Provost Marshall of the Royal Military Police and Provost Sergeant Major Marc Thomson, also from the Royal Military Police, attended Scott’s passing out parade on February 23 to present him with the prestigious medal.
Scott said: “I’m still quite shocked now to be told I am getting the Meritorious Service Medal. It’s not something I’d ever given a second thought to. I’m absolutely flabbergasted, humbled and honoured because I’m only as good as the guys and girls that I’ve worked with over the years and I’m only as good as they make me.
“To have Brigadier Dave Neal come down to present it to me, I’m extremely honoured. Him and I go back a long way and he’s been a man who I hold in extreme high regard and I am extremely proud that he came down to present it to me in front of my colleagues.“
Brigadier Dave Neal said: “Scott was a Regimental Sergeant Major, the first and most senior solider within the Military Provost Staff who ran the Military Corrective Training Centre in Colchester. I’m delighted to see that he has moved from serving his country to serving his community in Essex.
“I’m very proud to award him with the Meritorious Service Medal which recognises 30 years of service. It was terrific to be able to be with the Chief Constable to present Scott with that medal.”
Scott began his military career in 1987 with the Scots Guards, serving in Germany, Canada and on a number of tours in Northern Ireland before transferring to the Military Provost Staff Regiment in 2003 where he was based in Colchester.
Over the next 14 years, he spent some time working as a Skill At Arms Instructor at the Defence College of Policing and Guarding in Portsmouth, as well as some time as a Dog Handler at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. He later served in Iraq and two tours of Afghanistan.
Scott was at the heart of the formation of the Military Provost Staff Regiment and was deployed to carry out inspections on service custody facilities across the globe. He completed his career in the Army as the most senior soldier in the regiment, a Regimental Sergeant Major.
Just months after hanging up his military boots, Scott was eager to fulfil his childhood dream of becoming a police officer and jumped straight into the role.
He quickly found during his 18 weeks training with us that a lot of his skills and life experience from his time in the Army served him well in his role as a police officer.
He said: “A lot of the skills that I have gained from my time in the Army have stood me in good stead for hopefully a long career with the police as well. One of the biggest skills I have been able to transfer is communications skills. If you’ve got good communications skills, hopefully that can help to resolve a number of situations we may find ourselves in.
“For anyone who is about to leave any of the armed forces, or has already left and is looking for something to do, I would highly recommend policing. I’ve only been here for 18 weeks but I have learned so much.
“There are so many avenues of opportunity within the police. You have got to do your two years’ probation first, but once you’ve done that, the world is your oyster and you can specialise in dozens of various roles within the police.”
Our officers join us from all walks of life, whether your background is in the military, retail or teaching to name just a few, your skills are transferable into policing and can help to protect and serve your community.
Recruitment for police officers is currently open, to find out more information about the role and how to apply, visit: essex.police.uk/fitthebill

2SMART Roadshow - Chelmsford - May 12, 2011
2Smart 2011, the award winning educational programme run by Essex Police for 11-12 year olds, kicks off this week starting in Chelmsford today.
Nearly 10,000 young people from across the county will have the opportunity to attend one of five shows running during May and June.
Now in its fifteenth year the 2Smart road show aims to provide young people with information about bullying, alcohol, drug and knife issues to help them make better decisions.
Forming part of the personal, social and health education programme the road show helps young people understand what they can achieve if they stay on the right track.
Inspector Neil Armstrong who co-ordinated the events said; The 2Smart programme is a fantastic way young people can really start to understand the choices they have as they go through life.
Using theatre, dance, sport, facts and audience participation Essex Police are working with partner organisations including the Essex Young People Drug and Alcohol Service to present young people with the information they can use to shape their own future in a fun and interactive way rather than dictating the rights and wrongs to them.
The shows are a great opportunity for young people to get to know their local neighbourhood officers and gain trust and confidence in the police. This not only gives officers and young people something in common, but helps to build a strong relationship between the police and the community.
Everyone attending a show has the opportunity to send their feedback on the show and enter a number of competitions to win an Xbox 360 and Kinect, a trip to visit the air ambulance with their class mates and a family day out at Southend United football club by visiting 2smart.co.uk/roadshow
The 2smart road shows will take place across the county on the following dates:
Chelmsford, Thursday May 12, 2011
Colchester, Thursday May 19, 2011
Basildon, Tuesday May 24, 2011
Southend, Thursday June 9, 2011
Brentwood, Thursday June 16, 2011

V Festival 2011
Steer clear of the V Festival if you're thinking about committing crime -- that's the message from Essex Police in the run up to the music festival in Chelmsford.
The two-day festival is a safe one and Essex Police will be working to make sure it stays that way with officers patrolling Hylands Park on foot, horseback and bike.
Crime levels have been low in previous years but visitors are encouraged to take note of safety messages which will be displayed on big screens on site and shared using Bluetooth.
Like last year, festival goers will also be able to log on to a dedicated section on the Essex Police website at essex.police.uk/festivals for safety advice, travel information and tips on how to keep your belongings safe and avoid ticket touts.
We'll also be tweeting helpful tips and advice via our Twitter channel in the run up to and during the festival using #vfestival. You can follow us @essexpoliceuk
Around 90,000 people are expected to visit the festival each day and unfortunately there will always be a small number who come for the wrong reason -- to target other people's property. There will be regular patrols by uniform and non-uniformed officers but festival goers are advised to leave valuable belongings at home. If you do have to bring them, look after them and make use of the lockers on site.
Festival goers who feel the need to carry a mobile phone should think about putting their sim card in an old phone and leaving their smart phones and blackberries at home.
