This historical photograph captures the Foot Police and Water Police stationed at Williamstown, after 1886. The officers in the back row wearing high white/light-colored custodian helmets represent the Foot Police (Land), while the members seated and standing in the lower rows wearing dark uniforms and caps or flat-brimmed hats represent the Water Police (Sea). Thomas Scott Band came out to Victoria as a second mate on the ship Adair in 1853. In the following year he joined the water police and was stationed at Geelong for a number of years, when he transferred to the Williamstown water police. He retired as a senior constable in 1887 after serving 33 years' service. He died aged 75 in January 1907. (Source: Williamstown Chronicle 19 January 1907) Constable Bolger had been a member of the Royal Irish constabulary and served two years arriving in the colony with the Permanent Artillery. He almost served 30 years service in the police force and died of illness during September 1900 aged 56. (Source: Williamstown Chronicle 15 September 1900) The handwritten text explicitly highlights Thomas R. Hazle (standing in the center row with a dark hat). Hazle was formerly a leading seaman on H.M.S. Nelson, stationed in Victoria, and left the navy in 1886, when he joined the water police and was stationed at Williamstown and South Wharf. He was a senior-constable when he retired during 1911. He died aged 86 on the15th September 1931. (source: Williamstown Chronicle 19 September 1931) Sergeant James Whitcher gave up sea faring life to join the water police in 1S52. He was promoted to the rank of senior-constable in 1881, and to sergeant in 1883, succeeding Sergeant Daly in charge of the station a year afterwards. He retired on 30 June 1892 and died in May 1893. (Source: Williamstown Advertiser Sat 20 May 1893) John Tuckey was born in Tipperary Ireland in 1827 and joined the Victorian Police Force in 1853. He rose to the position of Constable and retired after 29 years of service. He died in 1906, aged 79. (Source: Williamstown Chronicle 12 May 1906). Constable John Watson was born in England in 1850, and when quite a young man enlisted in the Imperial Navy, and after about eight years' service he entered the colonial navy, being for some time connected with the H.M S. Pharos, Victoria, and Nelson, filling the position of instructor on the last-named when a training ship. He joined the Victorian police force in 1880 and has consequently seen over 22 years' service. He died aged 53 during December 1902. (Source: Williamstown Chronicle 20 December 1902). williamstown water and land police, 1886, thomas hazle
