Police Orders: The following used to be useful www.policeorders.co.uk which defaults to http://www.externalserver.me.uk:8085/  - as of  January 2007 they say under searches " please email searches@policeorders.co.uk. There will be a small charge.".  I do not know the charges and I would hope not credit card but something like Paypal.  I know nothing about the new owners of the site so this is not a recommendation but the reference kept here as many people knew Police Orders.

For paid research into your police ancestors I would suggest using someone on my Researchers - suggestions for employing someone for UK  research

Plus there is a Rootsweb list
