City of London Police
Encyclopedia
The City of London Police is the territorial police force
responsible for law enforcement
within the City of London
, England, including the Middle
and Inner Temple
. The service responsible for law enforcement within the rest of Greater London
is the Metropolitan Police Service
, a separate organisation. The City of London, which is now primarily a financial centre with a small resident population but a large commuting workforce, is the historic core of London, and has an administrative history distinct from that of the rest of the metropolis, of which its separate police force is one manifestation.
Nationally, as a result of the Fraud Review 2008 the force was recognised as the lead police force for fraud and granted funding from government to further develop its capabilities nationally and internationally. The police authority
is the Common Council
of the City, and unlike other territorial forces in England there will not be an elected commissioner replacing that police authority by way of the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011.
With around 1,200 employees, including 813 police officer
s, 85 Special Constables, 48 PCSOs
and three police station
s (located in Snow Hill, Wood Street
and Bishopsgate
), the City of London Police is the smallest territorial police force in England and Wales
, both in terms of geographic area - the square mile centre of London - and the number of police officers. The Commissioner since December 2010 is Adrian Leppard, formerly Deputy Chief Constable of Kent Police.
The City of London area has a resident population of 8,043 with 4,421 households. These numbers are increased by the daily influx of approximately 300,000 commuters working in the City, with an additional 300,000 cars passing through the square mile a day, along with thousands of tourists.
. Wood Street
Police Station
, the current headquarters
of the City Police, is built on part of the site of a Roman fortress, which may have housed some of the first police in the City.
Prior to 1839, the responsibility for policing in the City was divided between day and night, primarily under the two Sheriffs. It was these officers responsible for ensuring the Night Watch was maintained. Policing during the day eventually came under the City Patrol, which evolved into the City Day Police, which was modelled on the Metropolitan Police
. In 1838, the Day Police and Night Watch were merged into a single organisation. The passing of the City of London Police Act 1839 gave statutory approval to the force as an independent police body, heading off attempts made to merge it with the Metropolitan Police.
During 1842, the City Police moved its headquarters from Corporation's Guildhall to 26 Old Jewry, where it remained until it was relocated to Wood Street in 2002.

Because of the City's role as a world financial centre
, the City of London Police has developed a great deal of expertise in dealing with fraud and "is the acknowledged lead force within the UK for economic crime investigation." The Economic Crime Directorate includes the Fraud Squad, the Cheque and Credit Card Unit, the Money Laundering Investigation Unit, the Dedicated Cheque and Plastic Crime Unit, the Fraud Intelligence Development Team and the Overseas Corruption Unit.
Where the majority of British police forces have white metal
badges and buttons, those of the City Police are brass
. The force also have a unique red and white chequered sleeve and cap bands (red and white being the colours of the City of London), which in most other British police forces are black and white. Women officers wear a red and white cravat
.
Their helmet
has altered little since its introduction in 1865 and has a crest instead of the white metal boss worn on the Metropolitan Police
helmet. The "helmet plate" or badge is the City of London
coat of arms
; this is unique for a UK police force in that it does not include the Royal Crown, neither does it have the Brunswick Star
, which is used on most other police helmets in England and Wales.
On State and ceremonial occasions the Commissioner and his deputy wear a special full-dress uniform and hat (pictured below); other than on these occasions, they wear standard uniform.

The City of London Special Constabulary were awarded the Ferrers Trophy in 2006 for the efforts of their officers after July 7, 2005's terrorist attacks
. The award is given annually to police volunteers, for exceptional dedication and innovation. It was the first time in the award's history that an entire Special Constabulary received the trophy.
The current Special Commandant (Chief Officer) is Ian Miller MBE who was the first Special to ever be given permission by the Home Office to serve with two police forces simultaneously. This was possible because he lived in Scotland but worked in London Monday to Friday.
Promotion within the Special Constabulary is not dependent upon rising through the ranks. Ian Miller became Commandant of the COLP Special Constabulary after only a few months as a Special Constable in the City (albeit with over 20 years service in Scotland), without holding any of the intermediate ranks.. Similarly former Acting Chief Inspector Barrie Stewart of the City of London Police retired from the Regulars and then returned as a Special Inspector.
Due to an unprecedented intake of Special Constables from 2006, the City of London reintroduced the rank of Special Inspector (formerly Assistant Divisional Officer). All 3 existing Divisional Officers then became Special Superintendents. The rank of Special Chief Inspector was also reintroduced but as of January 2011 no-one holds this rank.

they won the gold medal, beating a team of the Liverpool
Police in the final. In 1912
the team was beaten in the final by one of the Stockholm
Police. At the 1920 Summer Olympics
the team regained its title, beating the Netherlands
. This was the last time tug of war was an Olympic sport, which means the City of London Police is still the reigning Olympic champion.
