Its section 2, 4 and 9 and schedule 1 were all repealed by the Parks Regulation (Amendment) Act 1926.[2] It was modified by the Parks Regulation (Amendment) Act 1974 (c. 29), requiring park keepers to be attested before acting as constables and renaming most of them collectively as the Royal Parks Constabulary, though the Kew Constabulary remained independent.[2] Sections 161-162 of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 abolished the Royal Parks Constabulary, placed the London parks under Section 2 of the 1926 Act and effectively removed any powers the Kew Constabulary had in other Royal Parks.[4]
