The Police Gazette, established in 1772 as The Quarterly Pursuit, and later named the Public Hue and Cry and other variants, was originally a weekly newspaper produced until 1883 by the Home Office and from then until 2017 by the Metropolitan Police. Its primary purpose was to publish notices of wanted criminals with requests for information, and where appropriate to offer rewards. In later years it became a bi-monthly publication produced by the College of Policing in London until it ceased publication in 2017.
