AVON and Somerset Constabulary is celebrating 40 years of policing.
On April 1, 1974, Bristol Constabulary, Bath and Somerset Constabulary and the Staple Hill division of Gloucestershire Constabulary merged to form Avon and Somerset Constabulary.
People can send photos with fond memories of the force to 40years@avonandsomerset.police.uk
