Durham Constabulary Male Voice Choir was Formed in 1948 as an educational based music appreciation group giving officers serving under the much harsher service conditions of the day a chance to have a few precious hours away from their beats, the choir has changed much over the years.
However, unlike many other groups, the choir's main reason for existence has also changed somewhat over the years.
While it still provides much enjoyment to the members, there can be few arguments that the main reason that the choir continues to exist with its links to the police force, is the immense public relations benefit that the force itself gains.
Durham Constabulary Male Voice Choir helps demonstrate the caring side of the police service as it tours the region helping local charities and groups raise many thousands of pounds a year towards their good causes. |
