These pages are dedicated to former members of the British
South Africa Police (BSAP) who served with the 'Regiment'
until July 1980, when the force ceased to exist. Its remnants
became known as the Zimbabwe Republic Police. The purpose
of this site is to keep alive the memories of the 'Regiment'
and maintain a former member network. We welcome visits to
this site by former members of the BSA Police and by others
who were associated with the force or who had an interest
in its history and activities.
Regimental Association
The
BSA Police Regimental Association is an apolitical group of
former members of the British South Africa Police force formed
for the purpose of:
- providing benevolence to former members of the Force,
their wives, widows and families;
- establishing social contact between members of the Association;
and
- providing sporting, recreation and leisure facilities
to its members.
There are a dozen or so autonomous branches of the Regimental
Association spread around the globe which host regular functions
and get togethers. Former members are encouraged to join their
local branch.
You can visit the branch pages via the above links
Latest News and Events
The
Webmasters News pages may now be found under the News
Desk tab at the top of this page. A prime objective
of this site is to keep those with an interest informed with
news about their former colleagues. Contributions are welcome
from anyone.
BSA Police Gallery
The
Gallery is still available for your viewing pleasure.
Images evoke the greatest memories, so, if you have any photographs
of people or activities from the BSA Police eras, then we

Appreciation
This
web site is made possible by several people. We should record
our grateful thanks to Peter Hirst (7996) who had the wisdom
to register the domain bsap.org and who has passed this onto
the the Regimental Association for its use. To Les Burrow
(9591), who provides the server platform on which the site
sits; Dick Hamley (5567) who has allowed the free use his
drawings from his book, 'The Regiment'; Leanne Nesbitt for
her professional design and artwork provided gratis; various
suppliers of images and news, too numerous to mention by name;
and the thousands of visitors who flock here to make it all
worth while.
