"On the orders of Edward I in the late 13th century, York Minster's very own law enforcement came into being. And more than 700 years later a book has been published about the Minster's own police, which is thought to be one of only two dedicated forces serving a cathedral in the world.John Key, a police constable who has served with the Minster force for the past 21 years, has published the collection of highlights from his career.He said: "I wrote this book to let people know about the Minster Police force, to explain who we are and what we do. We are police officers in a non-Home Office force, and that's rather extraordinary." [Top Tips]
