UK Police Officers overseas service

I thought this would be a good thread for the subject of UK police serving overseas. Both questions & answers and information. Government page link: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/international-secondments-for-the-foreign-and-commonwealth-office#opportunities-for-police-officers (bit out of date, still talks about ACPO, Afghanistan, etc) I know it generally falls into one of the following categories: * United Nations Police (UNPOL) secondments * Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Police secondments * British Overseas Territories and Commonwealth Realms/Republics/Countries etc secondments Examples include offi…

NCA Police

How 'police' like are the NCA? It seems now they are much more hands on, their branding is advancing with "NCA POLICE" type wording, collar numbers and they seem to carry PAVA in these photos. I originally thought they were more desk investigative based, so interesting & good to see they are quite hands on. I know they have either Constable, Customs Officer or Immigration Officer powers, but can they get involved in anything anywhere, NI, Scotland etc? I wonder too how many of them are firearms officers. I seem to remember a shooting in London a few years back. Not asking for any inside details, but just interested to see the Home Office having mor…

Comparison of International Police Forces

I think it is interesting to think about the differences and similarities in policing, the office of constable, sheriffs, police, etc with one of our oldest allies (and formerly enemies) - the U.S.. 1. UK Home Office forces - No national government-controlled force. US - Each municipality, town or city is free to form its own department, but is not always required to. I think this can be a great plus, as it is very much a local council/mayor controlled force, but it has to be funded locally. Hence some towns have done away with it & pay the local County Sheriff's Office/Dept. 2. US Sheriff. Elected in most counties (parishes in LA state) to be the chi…

https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/hammersmith-and-fulham-parks-to-be-regularly-patrolled-by-wardens-and-police-officers/ Hammersmith and Fulham parks to be regularly patrolled by wardens and police officers By Owen Sheppard, Local Democracy Reporter Parks and neighbourhoods in Hammersmith and Fulham will get regular patrols from uniformed wardens and officers, the council has said. The officers will form part of a 72-strong Neighbourhood Enforcement Team (NET). The new team will effectively be a merger and expansion of existing officer teams, such as neighbourhood wardens, parks police, street scene officers and highways enforcement officers. A r…

I've searched the forum as I was unsure if this had been brought up before but it turns out Lee Valley Park Authority in Enfield has a strange set of byelaws which have unique wording in regards to enforcement I haven't come across before. https://www.leevalleypark.org.uk/byelaws The byelaws for the most part are fairly standard in scope, total fine limit is the same as the majority of open space byelaws in existance being level 2 on the standard scale. On reading further however there is this: 56. Removal of offenders Any person offending against any of these byelaws may be removed from the ground by an officer of the Authority or a constable. Th…

I thought this would be a fun thread to get going as every so often we seem to find another old/obscure piece of legislation that has been forgotten about that enables a council or private authority the ability to appoint constables outside of 'general' acts and statutes. It seems useful to post a definitive list of acts that we know of enabling this power that still exist and are active today in law. Here are the ones I know of: Section 57 of the Civil Aviation Act 1982 Allows for the Secretary of State to nominate individuals to be sworn in as Special Constables in relation to aviation property under the Secretary of State’s con…

Guernsey Police- WW2
by ParochialYokal- 2 replies
- 161 views
I found an interesting paper online detailing the experiences of the Guernsey Chief of Police during WW2: http://www.guernsey.police.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=5470&p=0 It’s unthinkable as to how someone could work with the Nazi regime and tread the fine line between ‘reluctant engagement’ and criminal collaboration with the enemy. It contains some interesting anecdotes as to how he played the different types of German Police that were active on Guernsey off against one another (as they all seemingly disliked each other). And it also contains some uncomfortable duties, such as searching for British military personnel and even being tasked with escorting s…

I thought it could be interesting to re-start the old thread ... ... with 2020 information on all of those amazingly varied bodies of constables, or persons akin, whether they are warranted and equipped, or a combination of the two. Let's see how many we can get! I'll start with Port of Bristol Police - which police Royal Portbury and Avonmouth docks. (https://twitter.com/bristolportpol?lang=en) .

New Epping Forest Constable ‘Cop’ Cars
by ParochialYokal- 1 follower
- 5 replies
- 139 views
The Epping Forest Constables have launched the first of what we can assume will be their new fleet of battenberg vehicles. A little surprised that they were allowed to do this, as the City of London has been a bit risk adverse when it comes to these Constables, compared to their Hampstead Heath colleagues. It also perhaps raises a question about the expectation of the public when they see one of these pull up and what jumps out is a Forest Keeper in a green and beige uniform whom isn’t carrying cuffs or a baton. I am not criticising their role. Rather, if you give them a ‘cop car’ then you should give them the rest of the tools to do their job. …

I thought this would make a good conversation as I don't believe it's ever been discussed before. Speaking to some of the older cops in BTP prior to the force officially being reorganised with a police authority and the formalisation of BTP jurisdiction in 2003 apparently there was a reliance on the concept that if an officer encountered a crime off jurisdiction that couldn't be ignored the force would expect officers to make the arrest anyway even if well away from railway property under the guise of "Colour of Law" or "Duty to Act." This apparently was widely held within the force at the time that whilst officers may have acted without powers at a statutory …
