The Metropolitan Police Act described a police force funded by whom?

The Metropolitan Police in London was funded by the local community through a police rate on property in the metropolitan district. This means the residents and property owners who benefited from policing paid for it, via local rate authorities overseen by a civilian police board. Parliament authorized the structure, but ongoing funding came from the community, not from the Crown or the Church.
