We recently purchased a second hand copy of "A History of The Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary 1839-1966" It is not indexed by name and so we cannot do look ups - however, some of the incidents may be of interest to listers. January 1879 - Gosport - Sgt Gibson was reprimanded for not investigating a complaint of drunken brawling in a pub "but through idleness sent only a 3rd class constable to clear the tavern and manage two drunken men on his own" October 1880 - Ventnor - Sgt Lowe was admonished to display more zeal and activity in the discharge of his duty. A gipsy encampmment on New Down, Ventnor had to be removed and the sergeant " in place of dealing with this difficult and troublesome duty himself merely sent a 2nd class constable thus avoiding a very unpleasant duty on a very wet morning"
