-How is the London police force called?
THE BRITISH POLICE FORCE
There is no national police in Britain. All police officers work for one of the separate forces. Each separate police force has responsibility for
a particular geographical area. There are 52 police services, or police authorities in the United Kingdom. Each police service is employed and paid by their local governments or councils. The police services are completely independent of one another, and have their own policies, but they are always ready to go to each other's help. Each force has its Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
There are about 150, 000 policemen and women in Britain, or one officer for every 380 people in the population. Women make up about ten percent of the police force. They carry out all levels of police service and many are in senior positions.
The duties of police are to prevent crime, maintain public order and protect persons or property. A police officer usually
works in eight-hour shift. He or she begins the tour of duty with a roll call, during which the superior officer РТЯОЬ ЭСО НКв’Ь ТЧЬЭЫЮМЭТШЧЬ, ТЧМХЮНТЧР
information on wanted criminals.
If on foot patrol, officers will start their rounds, watching people, places of business and motor vehicle traffic. If they are on patrol car duty, they will do almost the same things.
The London police force, called the Metropolitan Police, is not controlled by the local authority. It is responsible to the Home Secretary, and its chief officers are
38
appointed by the central government. But once appointed these officers cannot easily be dismissed, and they make their decisions without interference from ministers. The Metropolitan Police were established by act of Parliament in 1829 by Sir Robert Peel. The heads of police forces are Chief Constables while the Metropolitan Police is headed by the Commissioner of Police. The lowest police rank in the British police is a constable. By the way, constables are not entitled to have revolvers.
Besides the regular police forces there are various police forces which protect the security of territories and properties of different public authorities. They include the British Transport Police, Civil Aviation Police, Manchester Dock Police and some others.
