Table 8 was considered by the Watch Committee on the 18 Sept 1890 under the heading, ‘Amalgamation - Section 23 Manchester Order 1890’.

The establishment figures show the number of the Manchester and Lancashire police allocated to the districts subject to amalgamation (as listed). They show the number of the old Lancashire Constabulary officers prior to amalgamation over that of the Manchester police subsequently provided. The extra officers granted to each district are shown in bold. It should be noted that further internal movements of officers occur within the Manchester police divisions. The Manchester police establishment was increased by 150 officers of which 25 are added to the E Division, the only non territorial division, which covered the detective office, headquarters and police court functions.

Table 8 indicates that the WC (and the Chief Constable) considered the numbers of officers in the newly incorporated districts under the previous Lancashire County Constabulary’s Manchester Division to be insufficient and considerable increases in both constables and supervisory officers were made there. These increases would become the focus of the rationalisation process from 1898.
