TheRoyal Marine Police (RMP) was apolice force in theUnited Kingdom formed under theSpecial Constables Act 1923 which existed from 1934 to 1949.^[1]

History

[edit]

The Constabulary can trace its history back to 1686 when the Royal Navy needed an organisation to preventdockyard crime. So theSecretary to the Admiralty -Samuel Pepys, the diarist - formed a force of 'porters, rounders, warders and watchmen' to guard the Naval Yards. Porters identified and escorted visitors, rounders patrolled the yard, warders were responsible for the keys and backed up the porters at the gates, and the part-time watchmen guarded buildings and areas by night.^[2]

In 1834 this force became the first dockyard police, with full police powers within the dockyards, and acting as policemen over offences committed by employees and Naval personnel within a radius of five miles of the yard. Rewards for obtaining convictions quickly led to corruption, so the force was 'cleaned up' and then abolished. In 1860dockyard divisions of the Metropolitan Police took over and senior Naval officers became magistrates. From 1923 onwards the Metropolitan Police presence began to be replaced by Royal Marines appointed asspecial constables under theSpecial Constables Act 1923. No. 3 (Devonport) Division was the last of these six divisions to be pulled out, leaving in 1934, the year which also saw the formal formation of the Royal Marine Police.^{[citation needed]}
