Liskeard Borough Police was the police force for the borough and corporate town of Liskeard, Cornwall, from 1853 to 1877. It was formed in the years following a riot at the Bullers Arms, which necessitated local police. It was amalgamated with Cornwall Constabulary in 1877. It only ever had two officers, Inspector Humphreys and Constable Spry.[1][2]
