Pursuant to Ordinance of the Special Council (2 Vic., cap. 2) police forces for the cities of Quebec and Montreal were placed under the nominal supervision of the Civil Secretary (transferred to the Provincial Secretary after 1841). Correspondence received, letterbooks, memoranda, reports and returns accumulated in the Police Commissioner's Office, 1838-1843, together with record books from individual police stations in Montreal, 1836-1843, form the bulk of this series. Returns, 1839-1847 and a general order book for the rural police, 1840-1842 form volumes 13-14 and 65-68.

Correspondence files relating to the Montreal River Police, 1856, and to the Quebec and Richmond Railway Police, 1852-1853 have been reintegrated with the Provincial Secretary's numbered correspondence (series C 1). The relationships between the general correspondence in volumes 1-4 of this series and both the S Series (RG 4, A 1) and the records of stipendiary magistrates in RG 4, B 24 await further investigation.
