Section 1 of the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 (“the 2011 Act”) provides for the replacement of police authorities in England and Wales outside London with police and crime commissioners. Section 3 of the 2011 Act provides for the replacement of the Metropolitan Police Authority with the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime. The 2011 Act does not change the policing governance arrangements in the City of London, where the Common Council continues to act as the police authority. Police and crime commissioners, the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime and the Common Council in its capacity as police authority are referred to as “local policing bodies” (see sections 96(2)(a) and 97(2) of the 2011 Act, amending section 101(1) of the Police Act 1996 and Schedule 1 to the Interpretation Act 1978 respectively).
