Cambridgeshire Constabulary was formed with its present boundaries in 1965 from a merger of five police forces:

  • Cambridge City Police,
  • the previous Cambridgeshire County Constabulary,
  • the Isle of Ely Constabulary,
  • Huntingdonshire Constabulary, and
  • the Peterborough Combined Police Force (itself created in 1947 from a merger of the Liberty of Peterborough Constabulary and the City of Peterborough Constabulary).

Proposals made by the then Home Secretary, Charles Clarke, in March 2006 would have seen the force merge with neighbouring Norfolk Constabulary and Suffolk Constabulary to form a strategic police force for East Anglia.[2] While Norfolk supported the proposal; Suffolk indicated it would have preferred a merger with Norfolk and Essex Constabulary, although wanted to explore viability of options other than merger; and Cambridgeshire expressed a preference to stand alone. In July 2006 however, the Home Office announced that all plans to merge police forces had been abandoned by the incoming Dr. John Reid.
