I once took part in a class on Crime in the Regency. One of the other students was a man who was a member of the modern Thames Police and was connected to the Thames River Police Museum. He took us on a tour of it– by video. It was some years ago and details are not as clear. They had a difficult job along the river with all the shipping and warehouses. The Museum was interesting.We were shown many different exhibits.

The history is fascinating.
Enjoyed that very much. Wish there was more information and the videos were longer.
I have a book about crime on the social and legal history of the river police. https://www.amazon.com/Criminal-River-History-Thames-Police/dp/0709093276
