Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea Parks Police

[1] The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea Parks Police is part of the Community Safety Department and provides a uniformed body of constables across the twenty-five parks and open spaces in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, to detect and deter crime.

[5] Members of the constabulary are sworn in as constables under article 18 of the Greater London Parks and Open Spaces Order 1967,[6] meaning they have powers of a constable to deal with bye-laws relating to parks and open spaces under their control.

In 2008, the constabulary made 30 arrests, mainly for possession of drugs, minor thefts and antisocial behaviour.

[10] Park Police constables are warranted constables and therefore carry expandable batons (Monadnock Autolock) ,[11] as well as rigid handcuffs, radios, body worn video-cameras, K9 dog spray and other police equipment.

In 2021, the Parks Police introduced two new vehicles: both liveried with yellow-and-blue Battenburg markings and equipped with blue lights.
