Hindmarsh and the settlers were increasingly concerned that, without proper protection, escaped <a href="/wiki/Convict" title="Convict">convicts</a> from the eastern penal colonies would ravage them. Unbeknown to those in Adelaide, in June 1838 the Colonization Commissioners recruited from the <a href="/wiki/Metropolitan_Police_Service" class="mw-redirect" title="Metropolitan Police Service">London police</a> two experienced sub-inspectors, James Stuart and William Baker Ashton, who were intended to create the force. Unbeknown to those in London, these plans had already been precipitated following a burglary, a murder, and two attempted murders in Adelaide during March 1838. As a private citizen, Inman took part in the pursuit and capture of one suspect.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Foundation_of_South_Australia_Police">Foundation of South Australia Police</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Henry_Inman_(police_officer)&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Foundation of South Australia Police"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Hindmarsh created the South Australian Police Force (since renamed <a href="/wiki/South_Australia_Police" title="South Australia Police">South Australia Police</a>) on 28 April 1838, appointing 21-year-old Henry Inman as sole commander, with the rank of <a href="/wiki/Inspector" title="Inspector">Inspector</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In effect, if not by title, Inman was its first <a href="/wiki/Police_Commissioner" class="mw-redirect" title="Police Commissioner">Police Commissioner</a>. Inman then recruited “twenty active young men” and commenced founding the police, purchasing necessary horses and equipment. It was the first centrally controlled police force in Australia, and the first with <a href="/wiki/Jurisdiction" title="Jurisdiction">jurisdiction</a> over an entire <a href="/wiki/Colony" title="Colony">colony</a>. In accordance with instructions from Hindmarsh, Inman organised the force into two distinct divisions; foot police for the town of Adelaide and a para-military <a href="/wiki/Mounted_police" title="Mounted police">mounted police</a>. The latter, with <a href="/wiki/Cavalry" title="Cavalry">cavalry</a> standards, were fully armed and prepared for mobile operations at the frontiers of settlement. At the time there was no exact parallel for such a police force, either in England or the other Australian colonies. When sub-inspectors Stuart and Ashton arrived in November 1838 they found the police already formed and operating. Both then served under Inman. </p><p>Over the following two years Inman made a decisive contribution to the growth of the police force, opening a <a href="/wiki/Barracks" title="Barracks">barracks</a> in Adelaide and police stations at several country locations. In August 1838 Inman led a police party in pursuit of two allegedly escaped convicts near <a href="/wiki/Encounter_Bay" title="Encounter Bay">Encounter Bay</a>, arresting one in an unnamed river valley that, by association, have both since borne his name: <a href="/wiki/Inman_Valley,_South_Australia" title="Inman Valley, South Australia">Inman Valley</a> and Inman River. In September 1838 Inman led the police party that accompanied <a href="/wiki/Charles_Sturt" title="Charles Sturt">Charles Sturt</a> on an exploration to the Murray Mouth.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>After the recall of Hindmarsh, Inman worked closely with his replacement, Governor <a href="/wiki/George_Gawler" title="George Gawler">Gawler</a>, who arrived in October 1838.

He set a strong Christian moral tone, such that none of the police were indolent or corrupt. However, he was such a disappointment as an administrator and financial manager that Gawler appointed a four-man Board of Police Commissioners in December 1839 to ensure oversight of the force. That same month, Inman accompanied Gawler and Sturt on a <a href="/wiki/Murray_River" title="Murray River">Murray River</a> expedition, during which they discovered <a href="/wiki/Mount_Bryan" class="mw-redirect" title="Mount Bryan">Mount Bryan</a>, naming it after Henry Bryan, a fellow expeditioner who became lost and then perished. </p><p>On 19 January 1839 Henry Inman married Mary Fooks Lipson (1820–1898) at <a href="/wiki/Holy_Trinity_Church,_Adelaide" class="mw-redirect" title="Holy Trinity Church, Adelaide">Holy Trinity Church, Adelaide</a>. Mary was the daughter of Captain <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Lipson" title="Thomas Lipson">Thomas Lipson</a> RN (1783–1863) and Elizabeth Emma Fooks (1790–1880), and was born at Rennes, Ille-et-Vilaine, Bretagne (Brittany), France, on 27 March 1820, while her father was on half-pay from the British Royal Navy. Her father had previously been commander of the Revenue cutter HMS <i>Lapwing</i> stationed at Mill Bay, Plymouth, Devon.

Accompanied by Chisholm's Adelaide agent Henry Field (1818–1909), their 11-man party, jointly led by Inman and Field, left Goulburn for Adelaide in late January 1841, droving 5,000 sheep. Through organisational folly, the party was undermanned and underarmed.

Seven weeks later, on 16 April 1841, at <a href="/wiki/Chowilla,_South_Australia" title="Chowilla, South Australia">Chowilla</a> near the NSW-SA border, about 300–400 Aboriginals, enraged by earlier clashes with violent overlanders, attacked the weak party. The sheep and goods were plundered, while the drovers narrowly escaped with their lives. </p><p>In June 1841, Inman was appointed by Governor <a href="/wiki/George_Grey" title="George Grey">George Grey</a> as one of the four captains of the <a href="/wiki/Special_constable" title="Special constable">special constable</a> volunteers in a 68-man police expedition, led by O’Halloran, that returned to the attack site to recover the sheep and protect other overlanders then due, in particular the party of Charles Langhorne (1812–1855).

Although the Langhorne survivors and their cattle were rescued, none of the sheep were recovered and Inman was financially ruined.
