Question for Nottm or police researchers

[greyingrey]

I've got a possible rellie who was a police sergeant in Nottingham in 1892. I've found him investigating a murder case then in The Meadows area. I've had an initial whizz through the census records & the only candidate I can find is someone who was listed as unemployed in 1891. Does anyone know of any records relating to the police that could help me ? I was in a rush when I looked & may have missed him & we have visitors for the next fortnight. So I'll have another look at the census records after they've gone, & I may not need your help, but any sites relating to the police would be useful, as they may have more information.

Thanks

Have you looked here http://www.blacksheepindex.co.uk/
It looks a bit of an odd site but it is genuine and I have purchased records from them in the past.
