Editing Huntingdon and Peterborough (section)

===Emergency services===
On the creation of the county, an order under the [[Police Act 1964]] came into force creating the [[Mid-Anglia Constabulary]] by merging the Cambridge City Police, Cambridgeshire County Constabulary, Isle of Ely Constabulary, Huntingdonshire Constabulary, and the [[Peterborough Combined Police]] Force (created in 1947 from the [[Liberty of Peterborough Constabulary]] and the [[Peterborough City Police]]). On further local government reform in 1974, the present [[Cambridgeshire Constabulary]] was formed with the same boundaries.<ref>[http://www.theera.free-online.co.uk/index.htm Cambridgeshire Constabulary History] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071106131901/http://www.theera.free-online.co.uk/index.htm |date=6 November 2007 }} The Badgers Lair (retrieved 11 December 2005)</ref>

The Huntingdon and Peterborough Fire Brigade was formed on the same date by the merger of Huntingdonshire Fire Brigade and the Soke of Peterborough Fire Brigade. Since 1974 this has formed part of [[Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service]].
