The Metropolitan Police Act 1860[a] (23 & 24 Vict. c. 135) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The act was one of the Metropolitan Police Acts, granted royal assent on 28 August 1860.

It consisted of two chapters. The first allowed the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis to assign members of the Metropolitan Police to work in royal dockyards in England and Wales such as Portsmouth and for the Commissioner to issue additional "orders and regulations" to standard Metropolitan Police rules to cover these dockyard divisions. The second outlined the powers of constables in such divisions, which covered the land, rivers and waters in the whole of the relevant dockyard and within a radius of fifteen miles around it, with all the powers he would usually exercise within the Metropolitan Police District[1] The act was extended to Scotland in 1914 by the Metropolitan Police (Employment in Scotland) Act 1914 (4 & 5 Geo. 5. c. 44).[2]

Subsequent developments

[edit]

The Metropolitan Police were phased out of dockyards between 1922 and 1934. The whole act, except as applied by the Special Constables Act 1923 (13 & 14 Geo. 5. c. 11) was repealed by section 64(3) of, and part II of schedule 10 to, the Police Act 1964, which came into force on 1 August 1964.[3]


Notes

[edit]
  1. 1 2 The citation of this act by this short title was authorised by section 5 of, and the second schedule to, the Statute Law Revision Act 1948. Due to the repeal of those provisions, it is now authorised by section 19(2) of the Interpretation Act 1978.
