6. Translate into English:
В Британии не существует национальной полиции. Все служащие полиции работают в одном из примерно сорока отдельных подразделений, каждое из которых отвечает за определенную географическую территорию. Первоначально, эти подразделения организовывались по-отдельности на местном уровне. И лишь позднее центральное правительство получило над ними определенный контроль. Представители центрального правительства инспектируют подразделения и назначают руководство. Взамен, подразделения получают примерно половину средств для своего финансирования. Вторая половина поступает из фондов органов местного самоуправления.
Исключение составляет Полицейское Управление Лондона (the Metropolitan Police Force), которое отвечает за охрану правопорядка в Центральном Лондоне. Данное подразделение находится под прямым контролем центрального правительства. На него возложены централизованные функции регистрации преступлений и преступников в Англии и Уэльсе, а также составления регистра пропавших без вести граждан. Штаб-квартирой отдела уголовных расследований (Criminal Investigation Department (CID) является Новый Скотланд Ярд (New Scotland Yard).
