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.

Organisation

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.

The office of petty constable is a parochial office. Thus, all police constables and serjeants are elected by the inhabitants of their home parish at the manorial sessions and then taken to the Quarter Sessions to be sworn in by the Sheriff.

The Constable General of a county constabulary is appointed by the Sheriff (who is appointed by the Crown on the recommendation of the Privy Council). The appointment must be recorded by the Keeper of the Rolls of the county, who is appointed by the Lord High Chancellour.

The Commissioner of a borough constabulary is appointed by commission of the Crown, on the recommendation of the borough council.
