The City of London Police is the police force responsible for law enforcement within the City of London, 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.
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.[4] The police authority is the Corporation of London.
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, and many tourists. 300,000 cars passing through the square mile a day.[5]
The Force has 1,200 employees, including 813 police officers, 85 Special Constables, 48 Police Community Support Officers and one police stations (Bishopsgate). The City of London Police is the smallest territorial police force in England, both in terms of geographic area – the square mile centre of London – and the number of police officers.[3]
