City of London market constabularies

The City of London market constabularies are three small constabularies responsible for security at Billingsgate,[1] New Spitalfields[2] and Smithfield[3] markets run by the City of London Corporation.

Market constables now perform a mixture of security and emergency medical work and are no longer recognised as police officers and are not attested as such.

However, their uniforms still say "Markets Police" out of tradition and their 'police-type' role.

They are responsible for enforcing market bylaws, rules and regulations.

The organisation has a number of members: Constables wear modern-day police uniforms and may wear: blue or white shirt and tie, protective stab vest, high visibility jackets and black (sometimes white-topped) peaked caps with the City of London badge.
