- Description:
- The Tottenham Park Association for the Protection of Persons and Property, and for the Prosecution of Felons and other Offenders, was one of several private associations, formed between 1780-1850, "made up of local property-owners, who came together to form an organization and raise a fund in order to find, arrest, and prosecute, at common expense, offenders against themselves and their property" (Philips). These associations went into decline beginning with the establishment of the Metropolitan Police in 1829, the passing of the 1839 Rural Police Act, and finally the County and Borough Police Act of 1856, which made it compulsory for all counties to have a police force.
