Law enforcement in the Pitcairn Islands
Law enforcement in the Pitcairn Islands is the responsibly of the Pitcairn Islands Police, the smallest British police force, which has just one constable, and has never numbered more than two sworn officers. Historically, and until 2000, a Pitcairn Island resident was appointed as the island group's sole police officer, and also acted as immigration and customs officer. Since 2000, the combined police, immigration, and customs role has been held by a series of foreign professionals on short-term secondment. The resident population of the islands has not exceeded 60 in recent years. There is a single police station on the main island.〔See (this travel photo ) website for a photograph of the police station.〕 The legal status of officers in the Pitcairn Islands Police is established by section 79 of the Pitcairn Justice Ordinance 2000, which also defines their duties.
==Child sex charges==
A British policewoman, Gail Cox from Kent, was stationed on the island in 1999 for a short-duty secondment, but during her stay she discovered evidence of historic child sex offences. Her report led to historic sex charges, one dating back to 1972, against a number of Pitcairn Islands men, and also to a change in the way the islands of Pitcairn, Henderson, Ducie, and Oeno are policed.
