- Content
This file contains correspondence regarding the development of the armed police force in Bahrain between the years 1930 and 1944.

The file also contains detailed instructions regarding protocol for the use of force by the police against crowds (notably the use of firearms against illegal assemblies) and documents containing a broader discussion of the nature of Britain's role in Bahrain.
