City of London Police (A New World)

The City of London Police is the territorial police force responsible for law enforcement within the City of London, including the Middle and Inner Temples. The force responsible for law enforcement within the remainder of the London region, outside the City, is the much larger Metropolitan Police Service, a separate organisation. The City of London, which is now primarily a financial business district 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.

The City of London area has a resident population of around 10,000, however there is also a daily influx of around 500,000 commuters into the City, along with thousands of tourists.

As of 2110 the force had a workforce of 1,500 including 800 full-time police officers and 451 support staff. The headquarters is located at the Guildhall and there are two additional stations at Bishopsgate and Wood Street.

Female officers wear a red and white tie. On State and ceremonial occasions the Commissioner and his deputy wear a special Court Dress Uniform with a gold aiguillette and a cocked hat adorned with white swan's feathers; other than on these occasions, they wear standard uniform.
