To Guard My People is a historical account of the early days of policing in Swansea, Wales. Author Walter William Hunt, who served as Superintendent of Swansea Borough Police, delves into the origins of keeping law and order in Swansea back in the 18th century, when Parish Constables were appointed by the community. The book traces policing's progression into the 19th century, highlighted by the establishment of the Swansea Borough Police force. Along with many facts, figures, and photos, the text includes a list of those original Parish Constables from the 1700s who laid the groundwork for the eventually formalized policing system in Swansea. Overall, To Guard My People provides a comprehensive record of the first police officers who guarded the people of Swansea.
