 ====== National Police ====== ====== National Police ======
 +There are fewer police services in the UK. England has a national police service overseeing specialist areas and cross border criminals. There are just over a dozen local police services across the country.  
 +
 +National police deal with organised crime, counter terrorism, cyber crime, immigration enforcement, border security, smuggling, armed response reinforcements, fraud, and diplomatic and royal security. They also have intelligence functions where they collate police intelligence and operate the central police systems. 
  
 ===== Organisation ===== ===== Organisation =====
- +National police comprises a number of Groups each of which is lead by an Assistant Commissioner, one of which is the Organized Crime & Terrorism Group (OCT).

 National Police also have the capability to direct local police to assist them when required. National police officers have wider powers than local police as they also have the powers of both customs and immigration officers when exercising functions against suspected immigration offences or customs evasion (including enforcement of illegal drugs manufactured in the UK as well as those smuggled in). This means that they can usually enter premises without a warrant provided that they have reasonable suspicions.  National Police also have the capability to direct local police to assist them when required.

 + 
 +===== Technology ===== 
 +Police officers on duty are routinely equipped with terminals that record and stream live what they are doing to control. In addition it uses a combination of facial recognition and registered terminal information to identify people that they come across and show the police officer anyone of interest.  
 + 
 +This live streaming, and the associated recording process, make it very difficult to amend or fake the footage. Typically in major incidents there are dozens, if not hundreds, of similar feeds. Public order police tend to be very well behaved, having learnt their lessons from those unfortunate enough to be caught on camera and went to prison as a result.  It also tends to lead to criminals being convicted for low level crimes committed in front of officers with a shorter time lag and less paperwork. Complaints against police officers also tend to have rapid investigation cycles.  
 + 
 +While no-one really likes the police, the technology has improved the general level of trust in the police by society. There being less need to trust one person's word against an other's word.
