Fonds consists of the records of the Vaughan Township Police and reflect the organization, functions and principal activities of this agency. However, the fonds is fragmentary and as such may at best be considered a somewhat representative or, perhaps, more accurately, a random sample of the series that were originally generated by the agency in question. While the specific extent and composition of these series is not possible to determine, in light of the nature of the surviving records, it may be surmised with a relative degree of accuracy that the original series were more than five in number. Moreover, the ultimate size of the
force, 29 officers by 1970, would have ensured a relatively large series.

Fonds is but a fragmentary representation of record series originally generated by the Dept. Record types represented include correspondence, reports, public opinion surveys, returns of fines from York County Magistrate's Court, by-laws, personnel records, financial documents, technical documentation re: communications, legal, and judicial records, etc.
