From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dublin Harbour Police is a small, specialised police force in Dublin Port, Ireland operating under the jurisdiction of the Dublin Port Company.
The force has the power of arrest under Section 59 of the Harbours Act 1996 [1], to arrest persons in connection with offences under the Act, although they are then required to hand them over to An Garda Siochana. Prior to the passage of the Act, the Harbour Police were under the employ of the Dublin Port and Docks Board and were sworn as constables under the Harbour, Docks & Piers Clauses Act 1847.
