South Australian District Constables 1853 to 1920

District Constables were special constables appointed by SA District Councils to maintain the law and protect life and property in rural areas where there were insufficient officers of the Police Force. In 1861 an Act authorized District Constables in city districts. District Constables were not members of the Police Force.
