Introduction
An officially endorsed publication, The Police Official File ran from May 1980 to December 1981. Published in London, England, this digest-sized, color magazine featured news and information about the band including concert dates, interviews, biographical information and photos generally provided by the Police organization. It also featured fan contributions in the forms of a letters column, penpal listings, and creative contests including poetry and art competitions with monetary prizes. Popular in this magazine were the many photographs of the band in "exotic" locations including India, Hong Kong, South America, and Australia. The reasons for the end of the fanzine's publication are unknown.
