From an email update, I see that The Original Record (http://www.theoriginalrecord.com/) has added the following to its database:
Metropolitan Police Register of Joiners
The London Metropolitan Police Register of Joiners (MEPO 4/335) lists policemen joining the force 1 July 1878 to 31 December 1891 (warrant numbers 62845 to 77318). The register is alphabetical, in so far as the recruits are listed chronologically grouped under first letter of surname (I and J, and U and V being treated as single initials). It gives Date of Appointment, Name, Number of Warrant, Cause of Removal from Force (resigned, dismissed, promoted or died), and Date of Removal.
The records on this site are free to search, but a fee is charged for a scan giving the details from the source. The indexing is done by hand.
