NRS-10957 | Reports of Crime

This printed publication from the Office of Inspector General of Police, Sydney, was issued initially several times a week and from 1857 twice weekly. It was distributed to all police stations for police information. The Reports contain details of crimes committed, persons to be apprehended, descriptions of stolen property and rewards offered, lists of regimental and ships deserters, and other police notices concerning recovery of property, apprehension of suspects previously sought, and dismissals of police officers for unsatisfactory conduct. Most Reports concern crimes committed in NSW, but a small number of notices from interstate, and extracts from the Victoria Police Gazette are also included.This series was succeeded by Police Gazette.
