Law enforcement in the usa
The men who wrote the US Constitution believed in individual freedom and in cutting the power of the central government. Because of this the United States has the most decentralized police system in the world. There are 50 state systems, which are broken into county, city and township1 police forces, plus various federal Law Enforcement agencies. Because there is no federal government control to ensure uniform standards, every community is entitled to run its own police department but cannot exclude federal or state officials from investigating offences over which they have jurisdiction.
There are five major types of police agencies:
-
At national level there are a number of federal agencies whose task is to enforce federal laws. For example, the Federal Bureau of Investigation2, whose special agents investigate crimes across the US, is an agency within the Department of Justice3, as is the Drug Enforcement Administration4. The Internal Revenue Service5, enforcing tax laws and investigating tax evasions, is within the Treasury Department. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms6 is another agency of the Treasury Department. It enforces and administers laws covering the production, taxation, and distribution of alcohol and tobacco products, as well as laws relating to the use of firearms and explosives. It inspects plants, issues licenses, oversees tax collections on alcohol and tobacco, and investigates violations. The Department of the Interior7 and the Department of Agriculture8 also enforce some laws.
-
At state level, state police departments are established by each of the 50 states of the union and their officers are called state troopers. State police is headed by a commissioner or superintendent who is usually appointed by the governor of the state.
-
Each county within a state has an elected sheriff9 and the people who work in the sheriff’s office, deputies, are responsible for investigating crimes. The sheriff and his deputies have the power of police officers to enforce criminal law and may summon private citizens to help maintain the peace. The sheriff is also responsible for prisoners kept in the county jail.
-
Cities have their own police departments. They may be very large in cities like New York, but those in small towns have only a few officers. Town and city police are municipal agencies.
-
Most colleges and universities have their own small police forces. There are also village and township police forces. To this list must be added special categories, such as the police of the District of Columbia; various forces attached to authorities governing bridges, tunnels, parks and some units for policing special districts formed for fire protection, soil conservation, and other purposes.
These police forces are controlled in different ways. The federal bodies are responsible to the federal authorities, and the state forces to the governors of their states. At local levels there are variations. States are divided into counties, and every county has its sheriff with responsibilities for the investigation of crime and the supervision of the custody of prisoners. In some states there are county police forces under the control of county boards. In some places county police forces are completely independent of the sheriff’s office.

Task 13. Read the text and render it in Russian.
The existing American police structure reflects public opposition to any concentration of police power. It has been argued that the nation would suffer should all offences become federal offences and should power be transferred to Washington, D.C., and local governments be enfeebled1. Local problems require local remedies2, and the weaknesses of big government are all too apparent3. On the other hand, it is argued that the integration and consolidation of police forces could result in an improved service that would reduce costs, increase efficiency, and eliminate the problem of overlapping4 jurisdictions. The first steps in this direction have been taken in respect to training. Nowadays no police officer in the state of New York, for example, has been able to begin his duties until he has received a certificate for successfully completing basic training.
