The City of London Police is the territorial police force responsible for the City of London, which is the historic and financial district of the capital. Established in 1839, it focuses on maintaining law and order, preventing crime, and providing a safe environment for residents, workers, and visitors. This police force is distinct from the Metropolitan Police Service, which covers the rest of Greater London. The City of London Police has specialized units that deal with financial crime, cybercrime, and public safety, reflecting the unique needs of the area, particularly due to its status as a global financial hub.
