The Bradford City Police (Previously the Bradford Borough Police before 1897) was the municipal police force of the city of Bradford,Yorkshire, England, UK.
Bradford Borough Charter was granted in 1847, and Bradford Corporation acquired all the statutory powers from the old Municipal Corporation. In 1848, the Bradford Borough Police was amalgamated, with a Borough HQ No. 24-26 Swaine Street.
Bradford was granted city status in 1897.
During the Second World War, many places of worship were turned into auxiliary stations for the Bradford City Police, such as Greenhill Methodist Church, which was later demolished and the site it was on is now occupied by Eccleshill Library.[1]
By 1968, all of the other police forces within the traditional county of West Yorkshire had merged to become the West Yorkshire Constabulary. Only Leeds and Bradford remained independent until they too, were merged into the new West Yorkshire Police Service, six years' later in 1974.[2]
For operational purposes, Bradford Police was divided into three divisions. The force headquarters was in Bradford City Hall. The divisions with their associated stations and divisional identifiers were:
| A | East Bradford | New Leeds, Bowling, Eccleshill, Idle, Tong, Thornbury, Thackley and Tyersal | |
| B | South West Bradford | Little Horton, Great Horton, Wibsey, Buttershaw, Low Moor and Wyke | |
| C | North West Bradford | Manningham, Allerton, Heaton, Thornton, Frizinghall and Sandy Lane |
