The publication Bulletin de Police Criminelle<\/em> was a weekly publication distributed to specific police stations throughout France beginning in 1907.\u00a0 These bound copies come from the Chalon-sur-Sa\u00f4ne police station which is located in the Burgundy region of France.\u00a0 The weekly bulletins, which are of course in French, appear to serve as both a research tool and a tracking system of crimes and criminals throughout the country.\u00a0 We don’t currently have the entire run of the publication, but we do have issues that span a good 29 years with the most recent being no. 1523 from 1936.\u00a0 The individual issues are annotated (most likely by various police personnel) with short notes regarding arrests and other relevant details.\u00a0 At the back of each bulletin is a section that gives updates about the status of the criminals featured in earlier issues.\u00a0 The first few suspects in each bulletin have photographs to aid in identification, but there are also just text descriptions without any visuals.<\/p>\n

\"Img0015\"<\/a> The description of relevant facts varies probably depending on what information was available at the time.\u00a0 Some of the general facts that most entries have include a description of the crime, the name of the Judge that issued the arrest warrant, \"Img0017\"<\/a>any accomplices or places they may be hiding out in, and often a physical description or distinguishing marks that could aid the police in capturing a suspect. \u00a0The bulletins would\u00a0also occasionally feature descriptions or\u00a0alerts about stolen jewelry and objects.<\/p>\n
