We are the authors of The Official Encyclopedia of Scotland Yard and contribute to the history section of the Metropolitan Police website.

You can find a series of famous crimes and other Stories from the Yard on this website.   We also explain some aspects of the organisation of the police.   There are many more stories to be told, and more we invariably have more details, images and previously unpublished material than are shown here.
