The Police Act 1909 (9 Edw. 7. c. 40) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, granted royal assent on 25 November 1909. Despite its short title, it applied solely to the Metropolitan Police and is most notable for adding a fourth Assistant Commissioner (Section 3) and in the aftermath of a married Met PC's death in the Tottenham Outrage earlier that year increased pensions and allowances to widows and children of officers killed on duty (Section 5).
Subsequent developments Section 123(2) of the act was repealed for England by section 1(1) of, and the first schedule to, the Statute Law Revision Act 1950 (14 Geo. 6. c. 6), which came into force on 23 May 1950.
