Police Gazette (Various regions)

A Police Gazette is a type of publication or official record used historically by law enforcement agencies in various regions to share information about criminals, wanted persons, and recent crimes. It functions as a communication tool for police officers to exchange intelligence, often containing descriptions, photos, and descriptions of criminal activities. These gazettes helped coordinate efforts, track offenders, and inform the public and other agencies. While some are now historical or private publications, the concept of disseminating crime-related information in a systematic way remains fundamental to modern policing, evolving into crime reports and alerts.
