Cambridge University Constabulary
- Cambridge University Constabulary
The Cambridge University Constabulary is a very small, specialised, non-Home Office police force based around the precincts of the University of Cambridge. There are approximately 20 to 30 constables in the Constabulary.
As a non-Home Office police service, the powers of the constables derive from the Universities Act 1825, which states that the Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor of the University have the power to appoint constables, which are in practice appointed and managed by the university's Proctor's Office. The Act states that these officers will have all the powers of a constable whilst within their jurisdiction. The jurisdiction of these constables extends within a five mile radius of Great St Mary's Church.
Generally the constables restrict themselves to internal university matters with all serious crime/incidents being referred to the Cambridgeshire Constabulary, who are responsible for the whole of Cambridgeshire.
