Culture law enforcementlaw enforcementBritain has regional police forces, which are responsible for maintaining law and order in their own area. London has two police forces, the Metropolitan Police, often referred to as the Met, which covers Greater London and has its headquarters at New Scotland Yard, and the smaller City of London Police.Each regional police force is led by a chief constable. In England and Wales since 2012 there have been directly elected Police and Crime Commissioners who direct the work of the chief constable and his or her force. Police officers wear dark blue uniforms, and constables and sergeants in some forces sometimes wear tall hard helmets (= hard hats that protect the head). Some members of the public are trained as special constables and are available to help the police in an emergency.Each police force has a Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of detectives. CID officers are chosen from the uniformed police. They do not wear uniforms and have the title Detective before their rank, for example Detective Sergeant Jones. Individual police forces have other special units for areas such as traffic, child protection, etc. The Metropolitan Police has Counter Terrorism Command which works to prevent terrorism and some other police forces have a Special Branch to do the same job. The National Crime Agency was set up to fight organised crime at a national and international level.Police officers in Britain generally carry only batons (= long clubs) as weapons, although they may also have a Taser or a special kind of spray to defend themselves with. Only certain officers, who have had special training, carry a gun. Police forces are trying to build better relationships with local communities, a practice called community policing. More police now patrol on foot, instead of in police cars, so that they have more contact with people.In the US, law enforcement is carried out by different organizations at the various levels of government. There are many thousands of law enforcement agencies. At national level, the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) employs special agents, who investigate crimes across the US. At state level, state police departments are responsible for highway patrols and their officers are called state troopers. Each county within a state has an elected sheriff and the people who work in the sheriff's office, deputies, are responsible for investigating crimes. 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. Most colleges and universities have their own small police forces.The members of the US police force who have most contact with the public are uniformed officers, who patrol usually in cars or sometimes on foot and are the first to arrive when a crime is reported. More serious crimes are investigated by detectives, who usually wear plain clothes (= normal clothes) instead of a uniform. Police officers in the US usually carry a gun.Extra ExamplesTopics Law and justicea1Contact your local police department to file a report. 聯系你當地的警察部門提交一份報告。 I'd really rather not involve the police. 我真的不願意把警察卷進來。 No arrest has been made, but a man is helping the police with their enquiries. 沒有人被捕，但是有一名男子正接受警方訊問。 Police have appealed for witnesses to come forward. 警方呼籲證人挺身而出。 The police arrived to break up the battle. 警察趕到，驅散了那場打鬥。 The police charged him with impaired driving. 警方指控他酒後駕駛。 I had a police record. 我有過一次違警記錄。 All prosecution witnesses were given police protection. 原告的所有證人都得到了警方保護。 He spent the night in a police cell after his arrest. 他被捕後在警察局的小囚室裏過了一夜。 He was held in police custody for a month 他被警方拘留了一個月。 Nine arrests were made in a series of police raids across the city. 警察在對全市的一系列突擊搜捕中逮捕了 9 人。 Some protesters managed to break through the police cordon. 一些抗議者沖破了警察的警戒線。 The visiting fans returned to the railway station under police escort. 客隊的球迷在警方的護送下回到火車站。 There was a huge police presence at the demonstration. 遊行示威現場部署了大批警察。 A man was arrested by the police and held for questioning. 一名男子被警方逮捕並拘押訊問。 Police suspect a local gang. 警方懷疑當地的一個不良幫派。
