More Information (Ashdown Radio is not responsible for external websites)
It was in 1968 that 5 local forces were brought together to form what we now know as Sussex Police. In that year, Mike Rumble signed on as a cadet, staying with the force for 32 years.
In this illustrated talk, Mike will look at the history of the force as well as
some of the more notable crimes investigated over the years, including
the murder of a Chief Constable and the gruesome contents of a
luggage trunk found at Brighton Station in 1934 as well as looking at the
advances in transport, communications and forensic detection.
Please book tickets in advance, via our website or from Bridge Cottage.
