Matches in DBpedia 2016-04 for { ?s ?p "The Metropolitan Police District (MPD) is the police area which is policed by the Metropolitan Police Service in London. It currently consists of Greater London, excluding the City of London. The Metropolitan Police District was created by the Metropolitan Police Act 1829 as an ad hoc area of administration because the built up area of London spread at the time into many parishes and counties without an established boundary. The district expanded as the built up area grew and stretched some distance into rural land. When county police were set up in England the forces of Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent and Surrey did not include those parts of the counties within the MPD and Middlesex did not have a county force. Similarly, boroughs in the MPD that elsewhere would have been entitled to their own police force did not have them. The MPD was originally defined in reference to civil parishes and in 1946 was altered to correspond to local government districts. The MPD has been used for other purposes during its existence, such as the boundary for coal tax and as a 'Greater London' statistical unit. When Greater London was officially created in 1965 the MPD was expanded and some areas that did not become part of Greater London continued to be within it. In 2000 the outer boundary of the MPD was retracted to coincide with Greater London and the neighbouring county forces became responsible for those areas. The MPD continues to be a different area to Greater London as the City of London enclave is served by the City of London Police."@en }
