The UK Police: a Pocket Guide, 2001-2002 Mike Mcbride 1st edition

London had the world's first professional police force, and the police forces of the British Isles continue to rank as among the best in the world. In a similar format to previous pocket guides to the British armed forces, this handy guide covers chain-of-command, rank, organization, abbreviations and active operations. A wealth of detail will be found here on the conventional Metropolitan forces of England, Wales and Scotland, as well as the more paramilitary activities of the Royal Ulster Constabulary.
