The police force was established by the Londonderry Improvement Act 1848 and were governed by the Londonderry Corporation. Its abolition was recommended by a commission of inquiry into sectarian riots in the city in 1869. The commission felt the force, having the form of a town watch, was inadequate to policing serious crime; it also noted, but did not endorse, allegations that the police discriminated against Roman Catholics.[2] HistoryHistorically, policing in Ireland had been carried out by a town watch. By the 1830s in County Londonderry, the watch was posted so irregularly that citizens resorted to manning the watch themselves or hiring their own night watchmen. In 1832, the Londonderry Corporation created a Policing Committee of thirteen constables, but this was later deemed inadequate as the city expanded beyond the Committee's capacity.[3] In 1848, the Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland passed a private bill, the Londonderry Improvement Act 1848, which granted the Londonderry Corporation the power to raise its own police force.[2] This initially consisted of one Inspector, one chief constable, one Corporal and thirteen constables.[3] Gradually policing in Ireland was centralised under the Royal Irish Constabulary except for the Londonderry Borough Police, Belfast Borough Police and Dublin Metropolitan Police, which each retained their independence due to their statutory status.[1] DisbandingOn 28 April 1869, Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn visited County Londonderry, where a Catholic reportedly waved a flag bearing a harp with no crown and shouting for an "Irish Republic". Members of the Protestant Apprentice Boys of Derry were angered by this, considering it a deliberate insult to the monarchy.[2] In a sectarian riot that evening, three of the Apprentice Boys were shot dead by the Londonderry Borough Police constables.[1][4] A subsequent Commission of Inquiry ordered by the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland found that the Londonderry Borough Police were inadequate to their task:[5] it had only 38 officers and, being majority-Protestant, was distrusted by Catholics. The inquiry made the recommendation to "substitute it for a more efficient force".[2] In 1870, the Constabulary (Ireland) Amendment Act 1870 was passed which abolished the Londonderry Borough Police and passed the responsibility of policing in the borough to the Royal Irish Constabulary.[6] The area previously policed by the Londonderry Borough Police would become a separate police district of the Royal Irish Constabulary and provided that there would be 45 police constables in addition to the 38 from the Londonderry Borough Police.[6] Following the passage of the act, the Londonderry Corporation lost its power to appoint constables but was still responsible for paying for the former Londonderry Borough Police officers' pensions.[14] The Corporation requested that the Royal Irish Constabulary honour the service of the former Londonderry Borough Police constables who were transferred but this was refused with the Royal Irish Constabulary stating they were going to hire 50% Protestant and 50% Catholic for the district.[14] In response, the Londonderry Corporation refused to help fund a female searcher or hand over the former police force's records, citing the 1870 act stating they were not obliged "to make any payments for Constabulary purposes other than the moiety of the Constables pay to be charged as mentioned in the statute".[7] References1. ^1 2 {{cite book|first=Shane |last=Kilcommins |title=Crime, Punishment and the Search for Order in Ireland |publisher=Institute of Public Administration |year=2004 |isbn=1904541135 |page=14 }} {{Police forces in Ireland}}2. ^1 2 3 {{cite book |url=http://www.dippam.ac.uk/eppi/documents/15453/page/187819 |title=Report |author=Royal Commission of Inquiry into Riots and Disturbances in City of Londonderry |series=Command papers |volume=32 244 5 |accessdate=20 May 2015 |pages=7-13}} 3. ^1 {{cite book|first=John |last=Hume |title=Derry Beyond the Walls: Social and Economic Aspects of the Growth of Derry : 1825-1850 |publisher=Ulster Historical Foundation |year=2002 |isbn=1903688248 |page=65 }} 4. ^{{cite book|first=Arthur |last=Maltby |title=Ireland in the Nineteenth Century: A Breviate of Official Publications |publisher=Elsevier |year=2013 |isbn=1483145522|page=244 }} 5. ^{{cite journal|last=Radford|first=Mark|year=2009|title=The Bang Beggars of Derry city: borough policing in Londonderry, c. 1832–70|journal=Irish Studies Review|volume=17|issue=3|pages=347–359|issn=0967-0882|doi=10.1080/09670880903115546}} 6. ^1 {{cite book|title=33 & 34 Victoria: Second session of Twentieth Parliament |chapterurl=https://books.google.com/books?id=Cl5MAQAAIAAJ&pg=RA1-PA370|accessdate=21 May 2015|series=The Public General Acts|year=1870|publisher=Eyre & Spottiswoode|location=London|page=370–372|chapter=Constabulary (Ireland) Amendment Act, 1870}} 7. ^1 2 {{cite paper|url=https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/sites/default/files/publications/corporation-minute-book-volume-17-pages-277-to-316-14may1870-1nov1870.pdf |title=Corporation Minute Book, Volume 17 |publisher=Londonderry Corporation |date=1870 |via=Nidirect |accessdate=12 January 2017}} 6 : 1848 establishments in Ireland|1870 disestablishments in Ireland|Organisations based in Derry (city)|History of Derry (city)|Defunct law enforcement agencies of Ireland|Defunct law enforcement agencies of the United Kingdom |
