Royal Falkland Islands Police
The Falkland Islands Police Force was granted the "Royal" prefix by Queen Elizabeth II on 1 January 1992.[2] The Constables Ordinance 1846, which had been enacted by the colony's Legislative Council on 27 October of that year, created an organisation that has remained at the service of the public ever since.The building, which has had several wooden extensions added over the years, was built of stone by the detachment of Royal Marines that were stationed in the colony at that time.Historically local constables were based at Fox Bay (by 1900), and the Jason Islands (by 1920), with another at Grytviken in South Georgia (also by 1920) chiefly to prevent seal poaching.Since then, there has been a separate and dedicated prison service, but this is still located within the police station, working with the RFIP to provide custody and detention facilities.
