The Bulkies: Police and Crime in Belfast, 1800-1865

Focusing on the often-overlooked Belfast Borough Police, this book sheds light on a significant yet neglected aspect of nineteenth-century policing in Ireland. While much attention has been given to the Royal Irish Constabulary and the Dublin Metropolitan Police, it explores the unique history and contributions of the Bulkies, offering a fresh perspective on Irish law enforcement during this period. Through detailed research, it aims to restore the Belfast Borough Police to their rightful place in the narrative of Irish policing history.
