2.5. TEXT “STATUS AND DUTIES”
2.5. Read and Translate the text.
A British police officer is subject to the law and may be sued or prosecuted for any wrongful act committed in carrying out duties. Police discipline codes are designed to prevent any abuse of the considerable powers enjoyed by a police officer, to ensure the impartiality of the service in its dealings with the public and to maintain public confidence. Statutory procedures, including an independent element, govern the way in which complaints from the public against the police are handled. The establishment in 1985 of the independent Police Complaints Authority, with powers to supervise the investigation of any serious complaint against a police officer, substantially reformed the complaints system in England and Wales. In Scotland complaints against police officer involving allegations of any form of criminal conduct are investigated by independent public prosecutors.
In Northern Ireland the Independent Commission for Police Complaints is required to supervise any case involving death or serious injury and has the power to supervise the formal investigation of any other complaint if it so wishes; in certain circumstances the Secretary of State may direct the Commission to supervise the investigation of matters that are not the subject of a formal complaint.
Police work ranges from the protection of people and property, road or street patrolling (the trend is increasingly away from the car patrol and back to ‘community’ policing on foot) and traffic control to crime prevention, criminal investigation and arresting offenders. In urban areas, particularly, police officers have to deal with social problems and may bring in other social agencies and expert help.
Most forces have community liaison departments coordinate their efforts to produce good relations with the community. The Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 requires arrangements to be made for obtaining the views of people in the area about the policing of it and for obtaining their co-operation with the police in preventing crime. Almost all areas have police/community consultative groups which enable people to discuss issues of concern with the police in a constructive spirit. Particular efforts are made to develop relations with young people, through greater contact with schools, for example. Emphasis is also placed on relations with ethnic minorities; racially discriminatory behavior by police officers is an offence under the Police Code, and training in community relations is available to officers.
To release as many uniformed police officers as possible for operational duties, police authorities employ over 41,500 civilians (including part-time employees) in England and Wales and over 2,530 in Scotland. The number of civilian support staff growing as forces secure economies by replacing police officers with civilians where posts do not require police powers and training. Traffic wardens (of whom there are over 4,700 in England and Wales and about 540 in Scotland) carry out specified duties concerned with traffic and parking. Wardens are under the control of the chief constable.
Each force has an attachment of volunteer special constables who perform police duties in their spare time, without pay, acting mainly as auxiliaries to the regular force. In Northern Ireland there is a part-time and full-time paid reserve. Members of the police service may not belong to a trade union nor may they withdraw their labour in furtherance of a trade dispute. All ranks, however, have their own staff associations to represent their interests.

Each of Britain’s 52 police forces is responsible for law enforcement in its area, but there is constant co-operation among them.
Outside London most counties (regions and Scotland) have their own police forces, though in the interests of efficiency several have combined forces. The policing of London is in the hands of the Metropolitan Police Force, with headquarters at New Scotland Yard, and the City of London force. The strength of the regular police in Britain at the end of 1992 was over 145,800 (including over 14,200 policewomen); of these nearly 27,300 belonged to the Metropolitan Police Force and just over 8,260 to the Royal Ulster Constabulary. It is recognized that the composition of the police forces should reflect the make-up of a multiracial society and efforts are being made to encourage more members of the ethnic minorities to join them.

Officers in Great Britain do not normally carry firearms (their only weapon is a truncheon) and there are strict limitations on police powers. Because of the emergency situation there, the police are armed in Northern Ireland.
The powers of the police in England and Wales have been modernized and clarified by the police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984, which at the same time has enhanced safeguards for the citizen. The Act does not generally extend to Scotland or Northern Ireland where separate legislation applies.

The Home Secretary and the Secretaries of State for Scotland and Northern Ireland approve the appointment of chief, deputy and assistant chief constables, and may require a police authority to retire a chief constable in the interests of efficiency, call for a report from a chief constable on matters relating to local policing or institute a local inquiry. They can make regulations covering such matters as police ranks; qualifications for appointment, promotion and retirement; discipline; hours to duty, leave, pay and allowances; and uniform. Some of these regulations are first negotiable within the Police Negotiating Board for the United Kingdom, which has an independent chairman and representatives of the police authorities, police staff associations and the home departments. Matters of a non-negotiable king and general questions are discussed by the Police Advisory Boards.
All police forces (except the Metropolitan Police Force, for which the Home Secretary is directly responsible) are subject to inspection by inspectors of constabulary reporting to the appropriate Secretary of State. Inspectors maintain close touch with the forces they inspect and have advisory functions.
