Metropolitan Police Warrant Numbers
These numbers were issued to officers, starting within a few weeks of the formation of the Metropolitan Police in September 1829. By the year 2000, warrant numbers had exceeded 200,000 and represent the best unique identifier for a particular officer.
Women Police had a separate series of warrant numbers from 1919. The series ended on 8th January 1993 at number 9994. After that female officers were allocated a number in the same series as their male counterparts.
There are also separate series of warrant numbers for Special Constables, War Reserve Officers and for officers brought into service temporarily (eg the 1911 Coronation). The chart below refers only to regular officers.
If you know the warrant number of an officer, the chart below will show many of the years in which the officer would have joined, but some numbers are estimates and might be some months inaccurate. It also shows some details of when pension numbers were issued. Please note that pension numbers are also approximate. Pension Numbers 8001 - 8500 are widows' pensions 1942-4. Warrant numbers 154639 - 154774 were allocated to officers transferred from Essex Police in 1966. Warrant numbers before 1906 are illustrative of the range in those years and are not complete. Amended 15th December 2006.
