'''Law enforcement in [[Great Nortend]]''' is undertaken by sworn police constables serving on a local parochial and hundred level. There is a national constabulary hierarchy answering to the Sheriff and thence to the King's Lieutenant of the county. In practical terms, various ''constabularies'' formed under the Police Constabularies are organised on a county-by-county basis, under the political control of the King's Clerk who has responsibility over domestic security and law enforcement.

Regular '''policing in [[Great Nortend]]''' is undertaken by county and borough constabularies commanded by appointed commissioners answering to the county sheriff and thence to the King's lieutenant. All constabularies are under the ministerial jurisdiction the Board of Constabularies which coordinates the regional constabularies on a national and inter-county level, overseen by the [[Ministry of Great Nortend|King's Clerk]]
 
As officers of the Crown, police constables swear allegiance to the [[Monarchy of Great Nortend|Sovereign]] in the exercise of the King's prerogative duty to keep the peace. Constbles are accorded statutory and customary rights, duties and privileges over that of ordinary persons. For instance, despite being a civilian force, policemen are entitled to carry small arms,<ref name="Cabbat">Cabbatt & Olman, ''Parliamentary Debates'', June 4th Whit., 10 Alex. II.</ref> and may search persons and property with good cause. Their general duties involve deterring crime by patrolling the streets („walking the beat”), investigating crime, dealing with breaches of the peace, enforcing the law and giving help to the public.  


==Organisation==
==Organisation==
The first police forces evolved from the mediaeval system of watchmen, constables and other parish officers who were charged with the maintenance of the peace. In the 19th century, this developed into a system of police constabularies by the ''Constabularies Act'', 56 Edm. VII. which require the sheriff and yeomen of right of each county or borough to combine the existing ''ad hoc'' system of local policing into a centrally administered constabulary force.
The sixty-five constabularies formed under the ''Constabularies Act'' are organised on a county-by-county basis, under the ministerial control of the King's Clerk who has responsibility over domestic security and law enforcement.<ref name="Act">''Constabularies Act'', 56 Edm. VII.</ref> This is exercised through the Master of the Board of Constabularies who heads the Board of Constabularies. The Board is the main liaison between the Government and the police constabularies. Each constabulary itself is under the jurisdiction of the sheriff of the county, although the sheriff himself is mainly a ceremonial position.
===Structure===
===Structure===
Operational policing is undertaken by bodies of constables known as constabularies, each whereof being independent of another, but located in the same hierarchy. There are 52 regular constabularies and 30 special constabularies. Each has a particular territorial jurisdiction known as a constablewick. Most constabularies have a constablewick over a given county. Some cities have their own independent constabularies.

Operational policing is undertaken by bodies of constables known as constabularies, each whereof independent of another. There are sixty-five constabularies through the country.<ref name="Act"/> Each has a particular territorial jurisdiction known as a constablewick. Most constabularies have a constablewick over an entire county. Twelve boroughs have their own independent constabularies, although most boroughs share their constabulary with the wider county.
 
Most constabularies are organised in a hierarchy of four levels :—<ref name="Gorman">Gorman, E. T., ''Policing in Great Nortend''.</ref>
* '''Parish'''
: There is a police house in most parishes. An Sub-Inspector usually is in charge of the police house, assisted by a Serjeant.
* ''' Subdivision'''
: A subdivision consists of several parishes in a locality commanded by an officer of the rank of Inspector. A Superintendent is based in the largest settlement of the subdivision, where a police station is located, assisted by a Station Serjeant.
* '''Division'''
: A division is a grouping of subdivisions corresponding to a hundred or a group of hundreds or a borough. It is commanded by the High Constable of the hundreds within the division, holpen by the Division Serjeant. Most constabularies have around eight to ten divisions.
* '''Constablewick'''
:Commissioners and Under-Commissioners operate from the constabulary headquarters, with a Police Officer as Constabulary Serjeant. Each constabulary has a D. S. division (Detective Services division) and an S. S. division (Special Services division). The former is tasked with investigative and detective police work whilst the latter encompasses a variety of different branches such as the Dog Branch, the Mounted Branch, the Firearms Branch (often called the Gendarmery) and the Security Branch.

The ''Constabularies Act'' did not abolish the traditional offices of constable, high constable and sheriff who were the officers of the peace for a parish, hundred/borough and county respectively. Rather, it formalised the existing system of ''ad hoc'' assistants, deputies  and deputies of deputies over several different recognised offices, titled ''inter alia'' watchmen, underconstables, beadles, bailiffs, undertipstaves and tipstaves.

The Constabulary Act did not abolish the traditional offices of constable, high constable and sheriff who were the officers of the peace for a manor, hundred and county respectively. Rather, it formalised the existing system of ''ad hoc'' deputies  and deputies of deputies (titled subunderconstables, underconstables, underbeadles, beadles, undertipstaves and tipstaves) to these legal officers into a system of ranks, by ensuring that deputy officers of the peace were in fact substantive constables themselves.
====Commissioned Officers====
Constabularies have both subaltern and field officer ranks, nominally under the control of the county Sheriff. They are drawn mainly from those who have their [[Education in Great Nortend#Senior|Sixth Form Report]].


Properly, a Constable Class I holds the office of constable, whilst mere Police Constables Class III and Constables Class II are subunderconstables and underconstables respectively. A Serjeant properly holds the office of underbeadle. An Intendent or Inspectour holds the office of beadle, and is deputy to a Superintendent who properly holds the office of high constable of the hundred. A Commander holds the office of undertipstaff, deputy to the Constable General who holds the office of tipstaff.

Neither did the Act allow for more than one holder of the three traditional offices at one time (except those places with such privileges). Thus, there may still only be one Constable Class I sworn in for a given manor at one time, and only one Superintendent sworn in for a given hundred. Theoretically there is no limit to the number of Constables Class III or II, Serjeants, Intendents or Commanders. The Act does, however, provide for only one Constable General.  
==Duties and powers==
[[File:GNPolicemanSam.png|thumb|right|200px|Two constables executing writs. Note the cords and satchels in which the writs are kept.]]
The constabulary have a wide range of duties as the main public symbol of the law and Royal authority. Their basic duty is to enforce the [[Law of Great Nortend|natural right of the Kingdom]] and to keep the King's peace as officers of the peace. To this end, constables are required to patrol the streets and public areas to deter and prevent crime, pursue and bring to justice those who break the law, and to protect, help and reassure the people.  


The Constabulary Act provided that a constable may exercise his statutory powers anywhere in Great Nortend. Furthermore, the Lady Constables Act permitted women to join a constabulary for the first time, with all of the statutory law-enforcement powers of male constables, albeit without certain regular law powers. Lady constables are, however, restricted to the offices of subunderconstable, underconstable, constable, underbeadle and beadle.
An officer of the peace's customary and statutory powers are adapted to these ends. All constables, including watchmen and under-constables, for the lawful undertaking of his duties, are empowered to varying extent depending on circumstances and necessity to :—<ref name="Gorman"/>
* detain persons
* enter premises
* search persons and premises
* restrict entry to premises
* seize property
* arrest and capture persons
* quell and subdue breaches of the peace
* raise a ''posse comitatus''
* order persons to do or not to do certain actions
* demand names and addresses from persons
* injure, maim or kill persons with force.


==Equipment==
As officers of the sheriff of the county, constables are also employed for executing [[Law of Great Nortend#Writs|writs]], both original and judicial, and in criminal, common (civil) and ecclesiastical matters. Various kinds of writs issued by judges, such as ''venire facias'', ''capias'', ''distringas'', ''fieri facias'', ''habere facias'' &c., are used to give power to constables to bring persons to court, to capture persons to bring them to court, to distrain goods, to seize land, to search property, to sell goods &c.

==Uniform and equipment==
[[File:GNPolice2.png|thumb|200px|A police inspector in [[Nortish dress codes#Undress|undress]] uniform.]]
As a civilian service, policemen wear blue tunics as their daily [[Nortish dress codes|undress]] operational uniform, with boots, gaiters and breeches and a peaked forage cap. They are distinguished from soldiers and sailors in undress uniforms by their blue breeches, white facings and epaulettes, and forage cap. Lady constables wear skirts instead of breeches. Many constabularies wear helmets as part of the police uniform when on the beat, instead of the forage cap.<ref>''His Majesty's Constabulary Regulations'', Mich., 2 Alex. II.</ref>


===Vehicles===
For personal equipment, all policemen carry a police whistle, a wooden truncheon and a pair of handcuffs. They also carry pistols; however, their firing is very uncommon. Body armour is worn underneath or over the tunic to protect against stabbings and minor shootings; however, the low level of gun or knife violence generally means it is unnecessary.<ref name="Cabbat"/> It is sometimes believed that the true reason for the body armour is to correct posture and prevent slouching. In parade dress orders, officers may carry various canes, swords and tipstaves.
 
Police vehicles vary between constabularies; however, most use types of dark blue or [[Erbonian English|swart]] saloons, fitted with a „Winkworth” police bell and a roof-mounted light box. Horse-drawn police vehicles have not been in use since the mid-20th century; however, mounted police are in very regular use.

Regular policing in Great Nortend is undertaken by county and borough constabularies commanded by appointed commissioners answering to the county sheriff and thence to the King's lieutenant. All constabularies are under the ministerial jurisdiction the Board of Constabularies which coordinates the regional constabularies on a national and inter-county level, overseen by the King's Clerk

As officers of the Crown, police constables swear allegiance to the Sovereign in the exercise of the King's prerogative duty to keep the peace. Constbles are accorded statutory and customary rights, duties and privileges over that of ordinary persons. For instance, despite being a civilian force, policemen are entitled to carry small arms,[1] and may search persons and property with good cause. Their general duties involve deterring crime by patrolling the streets („walking the beat”), investigating crime, dealing with breaches of the peace, enforcing the law and giving help to the public.

Organisation

The first police forces evolved from the mediaeval system of watchmen, constables and other parish officers who were charged with the maintenance of the peace. In the 19th century, this developed into a system of police constabularies by the Constabularies Act, 56 Edm. VII. which require the sheriff and yeomen of right of each county or borough to combine the existing ad hoc system of local policing into a centrally administered constabulary force.

The sixty-five constabularies formed under the Constabularies Act are organised on a county-by-county basis, under the ministerial control of the King's Clerk who has responsibility over domestic security and law enforcement.[2] This is exercised through the Master of the Board of Constabularies who heads the Board of Constabularies. The Board is the main liaison between the Government and the police constabularies. Each constabulary itself is under the jurisdiction of the sheriff of the county, although the sheriff himself is mainly a ceremonial position.

Structure

Local policing is based in police houses where junior constables live.
Policemen may be summoned at a police call pillar or by dialling 000.

Operational policing is undertaken by bodies of constables known as constabularies, each whereof independent of another. There are sixty-five constabularies through the country.[2] Each has a particular territorial jurisdiction known as a constablewick. Most constabularies have a constablewick over an entire county. Twelve boroughs have their own independent constabularies, although most boroughs share their constabulary with the wider county.

Most constabularies are organised in a hierarchy of four levels :—[3]

  • Parish
There is a police house in most parishes. An Sub-Inspector usually is in charge of the police house, assisted by a Serjeant.
  • Subdivision
A subdivision consists of several parishes in a locality commanded by an officer of the rank of Inspector. A Superintendent is based in the largest settlement of the subdivision, where a police station is located, assisted by a Station Serjeant.
  • Division
A division is a grouping of subdivisions corresponding to a hundred or a group of hundreds or a borough. It is commanded by the High Constable of the hundreds within the division, holpen by the Division Serjeant. Most constabularies have around eight to ten divisions.
  • Constablewick
Commissioners and Under-Commissioners operate from the constabulary headquarters, with a Police Officer as Constabulary Serjeant. Each constabulary has a D. S. division (Detective Services division) and an S. S. division (Special Services division). The former is tasked with investigative and detective police work whilst the latter encompasses a variety of different branches such as the Dog Branch, the Mounted Branch, the Firearms Branch (often called the Gendarmery) and the Security Branch.

Ranks

The Constabularies Act did not abolish the traditional offices of constable, high constable and sheriff who were the officers of the peace for a parish, hundred/borough and county respectively. Rather, it formalised the existing system of ad hoc assistants, deputies and deputies of deputies over several different recognised offices, titled inter alia watchmen, underconstables, beadles, bailiffs, undertipstaves and tipstaves. This ensured that all such officers of the peace had a constable's customary powers.[2]

As such, any policeman may exercise his statutory powers anywhere in Great Nortend. Furthermore, the Lady Constables Act, 10 Edm. IX., permitted women to join constabularies for the first time, with most of the statutory and customary law powers of male constables. Lady constables are, however, restricted to the ranks of watchman, underconstable, constable and serjeant.[4]

The constabulary have a wide range of duties as the main public symbol of the law and Royal authority. Their basic duty is to enforce the natural right of the Kingdom and to keep the King's peace as officers of the peace. To this end, constables are required to patrol the streets and public areas to deter and prevent crime, pursue and bring to justice those who break the law, and to protect, help and reassure the people.

An officer of the peace's customary and statutory powers are adapted to these ends. All constables, including watchmen and under-constables, for the lawful undertaking of his duties, are empowered to varying extent depending on circumstances and necessity to :—[3]

  • raise a posse comitatus

  • demand names and addresses from persons
  • injure, maim or kill persons with force.

As officers of the sheriff of the county, constables are also employed for executing writs, both original and judicial, and in criminal, common (civil) and ecclesiastical matters. Various kinds of writs issued by judges, such as venire facias, capias, distringas, fieri facias, habere facias &c., are used to give power to constables to bring persons to court, to capture persons to bring them to court, to distrain goods, to seize land, to search property, to sell goods &c.

Uniform and equipment

A police inspector in undress uniform.

As a civilian service, policemen wear blue tunics as their daily undress operational uniform, with boots, gaiters and breeches and a peaked forage cap. They are distinguished from soldiers and sailors in undress uniforms by their blue breeches, white facings and epaulettes, and forage cap. Lady constables wear skirts instead of breeches. Many constabularies wear helmets as part of the police uniform when on the beat, instead of the forage cap.[5]

For personal equipment, all policemen carry a police whistle, a wooden truncheon and a pair of handcuffs. They also carry pistols; however, their firing is very uncommon. Body armour is worn underneath or over the tunic to protect against stabbings and minor shootings; however, the low level of gun or knife violence generally means it is unnecessary.[1] It is sometimes believed that the true reason for the body armour is to correct posture and prevent slouching.
