You requested the following information: “On the 3rd July 2014 a written question was asked of the Secretary of State for Transport in relation to Ports Police and section 7 of the Marine Navigation Act 2013. The reply was made by the Parliamentary Under-Secretary on 9th July. I have copied the relevant extract from Hansard below: "Police: Ports:Written question - 203891 Q Asked by Tom Blenkinsop (Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland) Asked on: 03 July 2014 Department for Transport Police: Ports 203891 To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the extent to which chief officers of territorial police forces have used the Marine Navigation Act 2013 to permit port constables to act outside their port area for policing purposes connected with the port constable's police area. A Answered by: Stephen Hammond Answered on: 09 July 2014 Of the six English port police forces, able to use the Marine Navigation Act, the port police forces for Bristol, Dover and Teesport have sought and received the consent of the Chief Constable of the relevant territorial police force to exercise certain powers outside their port area, while a fourth, Liverpool Port Police, is currently seeking it." Please provide any relevant correspondence/information/documents that were used to assist the Parliamentary Under-Secretary in giving this answer. I am particularly interested in the details of the consent given by the Chief Constable of the relevant territorial force as the legislation itself gives some discretion to the Chief Officer as to the level, conditions and scope of the consent for the extended jurisidiction of Ports Police constables.” Your request has been considered under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOI 2000).

  • Port of Dover Police
    Port of Dover Police The Port of Dover encloses 330 hectares. Most of the trade passing through the Port consists of the inward and outward flow of passengers, both ferry and cruise, roll on/roll off passenger and freight vehicles and some conventional cargoes such as fruit and grain. The Port complex is divided into the Eastern and Western Docks (which includes two Cruise Terminals) and now constitutes the busiest international drive on/drive off terminal in the world. The Port of Dover reguarly handles in excess of 12 million passengers, 2.1 million tourist vehicles and 2.5 million commercial freight vehicles per anum. Full details are available on the Port of Dover website www.doverport.co.uk/about There are two cross channel ferry companies operating out of the Eastern Docks; P&O Ferries & DFDS Seaways. Frequently asked questions 1. Who funds Port of Dover Police (PoDP)? The Port of Dover Police is owned, operated and funded by the Port Authority, Dover Harbour Board. The Port of Dover Police do not receive any public funding. 2. What Police area does PoDP cover? As a non-Home Office Police force, the PoDP do not have a ‘police area’. Kent Police have responsibility for policing the whole of Kent, including the Port of Dover. However, the Dover Harbour Board choose to fund their own police force to cover the Port area only. There may be occasions when Kent Police would seek our assistance in dealing with local issues, but the jurisdiction of PoDP restricts the area in which their Constables can operate (1 mile from the property of Dover Harbour Board, which is extended in certain circumstances to cover Port related incidents).

The Trust was set up following the murder by armed criminals of three police officers at Shepherds Bush in 1966. The late Sir William Butlin, at the time anonymously, gave £100,000 for the establishment of a trust to help in cases where police officers were killed or injured on duty. Public reaction to the crime was such that the fund soon increased to more than £1⁄4 million. The Police Dependants’ Trust was formally constituted by the signing of the Trust Deed on 21 December 1966 and registration with the Charity Commission in January 1967.
