Police records from the turn of the century

[Jonesy]

Does anyone have any experience of researching police records from around 1900 to 1920?

This is not in relation to a criminal; more an abondoned child found by (?), or at least dealt with, by the police.

(mods - sorry if this is the wrong forum. Wasn't sure where to post it!)

I would think that newspapers from the time would be a better bet. However, one of our members with more experience in dealing with police records may be able to advise on that route.
