History

PoliceWiki came about as an outgrowth of the policefans.org project. While there is a wealth of information about The Police available on-line currently, that information is scattered across hundreds (if not thousands) of different websites, communities, and mailing lists. Books, magazine articles, and films about the band as well add information which is scattered and difficult at times to find.

As a solution to this problem, the idea of creating a Police wiki to attempt to consolidate useful information about the band in one place came about. This project is open to participation and contributions from all Police fans, from all countries, from all backgrounds. PoliceWiki is a non-profit project produced for the fans and entirely by the fans--meaning we have no official connection to the band, this is not an official website, and any content here is added entirely for informational purposes only. All content related to the factual canon around the band, its members, and its music is welcome in the wiki. We also maintain a relationship with the FanHistory for recording and documenting the activities and creative fanworks of those involved in the Police fandom community.
