The Police Act 1893 (56 & 57 Vict. c. 10) was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It clarified the Police Act 1890 by stating that time spent by an officer acting as a fireman or extinguishing a fire was to be accounted as time spent "in the execution of his duty" and enabled watch committees to use police officers full- or part-time as firemen, with their pay, pensions and gratuities funded from the usual police, "fire police" or "fire brigade" sources. It also enabled police authorities to increase an ex-officer's injury pension in the first three years after it was first granted if a medical assessment proved the ex-officer's level of disability had increased from partial to total.
