Ron - only two of the group were actually police officers - Dave Stott, who is represented by the bearded caricature on the left, and Graham Marsh, who doesn't appear in this illustration.
I worked with both of them at different times during my service.
Sadly Dave died about twenty years ago.
I remember the group being active in the late 1970s, and through the 1980s.

Hi, Dave Stott was my dad, he sadly passed away in 2002 aged 57. Next to him on the picture is Roger Gregson, Denis Littler and Roy Cumberbatch. Roger and Roy have also passed away. I have no info on Denis. My husband did the illustrations for the songbook. I am still in possession of quite a few copies of the the LP album they recorded
