Common Purpose and Values of the Metropolitan Police
“The purpose of the Metropolitan Police Service is to uphold the law fairly and firmly; to prevent crime; to pursue and bring to justice those who break the law; to keep the Queen’s Peace1; to protect, help and reassure people in London; and to be seen to do all this with integrity, common sense and sound judgment.
We must be compassionate, courteous and patient, acting without fear or favour or prejudice to the rights of others. We need to be professional, calm and restraint in the face of violence and apply only that force which is necessary to accomplish our lawful duty.
We must strive to reduce the fears of the public and, so far as we can, to reflect their priorities in the action we take. We must respond to well-founded criticism with a willingness to change.”

Keeping law and order
Police officers are to be seen in towns and cities keeping law and order, either walking in the streets or driving in cars known as “panda cars” because of their distinctive markings. The police have regular meetings with social workers and health officers. They visit schools to give talks, they meet the children and try to show them that the police are their friends to whom they can go if they are in trouble.
In most countries the police carry guns. The British police generally do not carry firearms. They are not armed to avoid street gunfights in which innocent people might get killed. Only about 10 % police officers in Britain are trained to use firearms – well below that of any other police force in the world. A few policemen are regularly armed, for instance, those who guard politicians and diplomats or who patrol airports. In certain circumstances specially trained police officers can be armed, but only with the signed permission of a magistrate.
The police officers of today need a great variety of new professional skills to deal with modern crime. Therefore all members of the police must have gained a certain level of academic qualifications at school and undergone a period of intensive training.
It is no use pretending that the British police are absolutely perfect. In recent years there have been quite a lot of problems. The most common complaint about the police is that they are incompetent. The victims of crime often say that it is not worth calling the police because they will do nothing. In the eyes of the public, police incompetence or misconduct had either caused innocent people to be sent to prison or had allowed guilty ones to escape punishment.
It is even more serious when the police intentionally do things wrong. There have been a number of cases of miscarriage of justice, where, by lying or concealing evidence, the police have managed to have innocent people sent to prison. They apparently wanted to show results, even if the wrong people suffered.
One of the recent surveys showed that one in five people believe that the police use unnecessary force on arrest, falsify statements, plant evidence and use violence in police stations. In such circumstances there is clearly a critical need to rebuild public confidence. The way the public feel about the police is of fundamental importance to police ability to control crime and maintain public order.

1.The Police and the Public
There was a time when the British police service was a source of great pride. Unlike police in almost every other country, the British policeman enjoyed a trusted, respected and friendly relationship with the public. The system of policing was based on each police officer having his own “beat”, a particular neighbourhood which he controlled on foot or sometimes on bicycle. The local bobby was a familiar figure on the street. In return, the public placed a high level of trust in his integrity.
Attitudes towards the police have changed in Britain over the years. The traditional image of the friendly bobby on the beat, a policeman going round his local area on foot or on a bicycle armed only with a whistle and a truncheon is now out of date. The modern police officer, man or woman, is more likely to be patrolling in a police car and to have less contact with the public. As a result, individual police officers became remote figures and stopped being the familiar faces that they once were.
At the same time, the police have to deal with large-scale riots and other breaches of public order. Many people, especially the young ones, started to see the police as the symbol of everything they disliked about the society. Dishonesty, racial prejudice and excessive use of force by some officers have also damaged the image of the police. Insulting names such as the fuzz or coppers or pigs are now common.
In response, the police have tried to get rid of dishonest officers and build better relationships with local communities. More police now patrol on foot again, instead of in cars. The fact that they are unarmed is good for their public image; they look less threatening.
There is still a great deal of public sympathy for the police; it is felt that they are doing an increasingly difficult job under difficult circumstances. Generally speaking, the relationship between the police and the public in Britain compares quite favourably with that in some other European countries.
