Section III. The British police

А. Прочитайте и переведите текст «Британская полиция». Дайте название каждому абзацу:

The British police

The British police officer – sometimes called the «bobby» after Sir Robert Peel, the founder of the police force, is a well-known figure in every city or town of the UK. Policemen do a number of things. When someone commits a crime the police must investigate. If they find a person guilty in committing a crime, they arrest him. At the police station they question the accused. If there is enough proof against the arrested person, the police make an official statement (заявление) that they believe the person committed a crime. The person must then go to court for trial.

Most countries have a national police force. There is no national police service in Britain. Each region (52 areas) has its own independent service, for example, the West Midlands Police, Devon and Cornwall Police or the Metropolitan Police. Scotland Yard is the headquarters (главное управление) of the Metropolitan police force in London. The forces cooperate with each other helping in serious cases.

Each police force is headed by a Chief Constable who is, in its turn, appointed by local councilors (советники) and magistrates. There are a number of ranks in a police office: after the Chief Constable comes the Assistant Chief Constable, Chief Superintendent, Chief Inspector, Inspector, Sergeant and Constable. Each police force has its own Criminal Investigation Department. Members of CIDs are detectives, and they don’t wear uniforms like policemen. Most British policemen don’t carry firearms. Only a few police are armed, for example, those who guard politicians and diplomats or patrol airports.

The other uniformed people are traffic wardens (регулировщики) whose job is to check that drivers follow parking laws. Traffic controllers can impose a fine or make an offender appear before a magistrate. They are not members of the police force. It is the police who are responsible for controlling offences like speeding, careless driving and drunken driving.
