- 17:1517:15, 10 May 2024 diff hist −56,471 History of the Metropolitan Police Remove un encylopedic list of officers convicted of offences. The MPS has a nearly 200 year history with nearly 300,000 officers serving in that time. The list gives undue weight to the negative. And unless we start list all the NHS staff/doctors who have been convicted of offences on the NHS page or all the teachers who have been convicted of offences on the education/school pages this list seems to me unwarranted and not suitable for topic of page. current Tag: 2017 wikitext editor

As per my comments in this discussion, "police area" is a specific term in legislation that determines which police force covers which part of UK. It is not the same as police division, precinct, district, BCU and so on which are all internal divisions of UK police forces. current Tags: Manual revert 2017 wikitext editor

Which in force outside london is the Chief Constable. The Met and COLP are the only forces to use the title Commissioner but they are the Chief Officer for their respective forces.

Of course they work with them on incidents that are close to the borders but that can be said of all police forces working with other police forces on a daily basis. I have removed the statement that they are part of the NWMPG which they are not (but which they are in terms of the Marine Unit). I'm also not sure why previous editor added style guide to my page??

Key concept of "police area" re-introduced which defines who is responsible for policing/investigations in which geographic location one is in.

21 July 2023
- 15:1815:18, 21 July 2023 diff hist −679 National Crime Agency Remove an opinion re seniority. The cite references a news paper article which has put its own spin on situation. In reality the NCA has a specialist role and does not become involved in most day to day policing, with a Chief Officer of a territorial police force being ultimately solely responsible for law and order in police area. Police forces and NCA work together, neither organisation would look at relationship as senior/junior - not how it works. Tag: Visual edit
- 15:0215:02, 21 July 2023 diff hist −124 Law enforcement in the United Kingdom Removed erroneous statement re NCA being senior law enforcement agency. Not so. Each Chief Officer of each territorial force is solely operationally responsible. Only in certain circs, can NCA DG direct forces, and then only with permission of Minister. Also NCA can be directed to support a force so the power is not one way. The NCA do not get involved in most day to day policing. Tag: Visual edit
