Belfast Harbour Police
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Belfast Harbour Police is a small, specialised police force with the responsibility of policing Belfast harbour, Northern Ireland. It was founded in 1847.
Officers of this force are sworn in as constables under section 79 of the Harbours, Docks and Piers Clauses Act 1847. As a result, officers have the full powers of a constable on any land owned by the Belfast Harbour Authority and at any place within one mile of any owned land.
Any major or serious crime and incidents would automatically become the responsibility of the local territorial police force, the Police Service of Northern Ireland.
