Parks Police
The Wandsworth Parks Police Service was established in 1981 to
ensure the safety and security of Wandsworth residents and visitors
using the many parks and open spaces in the borough.
The Parks Police Officers have the status of Police Constables and with a few exceptions enjoy the powers and privileges of the office of a Constable.
Parks Police Officers are also council officers and have the authority to act in issues affecting the council and its buildings throughout the borough.
