Pictured is PC 540 Frederick HALSEY fingerprinting a vehicle, believed to belong to the force Photographic Department (Hatfield Police HQ) in which he was later promoted to Sergeant.
PS Halsey remained in this department for most of his career and worked on a number of notable cases. In 1963, following the ‘Great Train Robbery’, he photographed Leatherslade Farm from the air using the force flying club’s Tiger Moth aircraft and in 1966 Harry Roberts’ hideout in Hertfordshire after the murder of three Metropolitan Police officers in Shepherds Bush, London.
