Kew Constabulary

Kew Constabulary

The Kew Constabulary (formerly the Royal Botanic Gardens Constabulary) is a very small, specialised constabulary responsible for policing the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew in London, England.

Constables of the constabulary have full police powers upon the land belonging to the Royal Botanic Gardens and within a 3 mile radius of it. Although sworn as constables, these officers rarely use their police powers and generally perform a patrol and ranger service.

Any substantial, serious or major police requirements in the gardens are provided by the Metropolitan Police Service.
