In either case, the arrested person is taken to a police facility, either a central jail or, a precinct station. For some types of less serious
offences, a policeman who observes the offence is permitted, rather than making an arrest, issues a citation requiring the offender to
appear in court at a specified time.

Text 16. The Police Force or the Police Service?
No task is too small; policemen rounding up some ducks left outside the Prime Minister’s home at No. 10 Downing Street
On three evenings each week a British TV channel shows an extremely popular police drama called The Bill (which is a slang
word for the police). It is a fairly realistic soap opera, with a group of characters that viewers know well. The police officers are not
perfect, and they make mistakes; but in general they are good, honest and hardworking.
Some might say that this kind of program is just propaganda for the police, an attempt to improve their image. But actually, it is
in line with public attitudes; in a survey, 75 per cent of people in Britain considered that the police were doing a good job. In fact, the
police in Britain have enjoyed a positive public image for a long time. They are approachable – you can ask them the way in the
street. Police officers visit primary schools to give talks and meet the children – trying to ensure that the next generation grows up
with the same pro-police view as their parents. They are better paid than teachers and much better paid than nurses; this helps to
prevent corruption, and they very rarely accept bribes. Of course, the fact that they are unarmed is good for their public image; they
look less threatening.
Women make up about 10 per cent of the police force. The police are helped by a number of Special Constables – members of
the public who work for the police voluntarily for a few hours a week.
The organisation used to be called the Police Force, but it has now decided to call itself the Police Service. This reflects its desire
to be part of modern society – serving people rather than controlling them.
All policemen wear uniform. The other uniformed people you see in British towns are traffic wardens. Their job is to make sure
that drivers obey the parking regulations. They have no other powers – it is the uniform police who are responsible for controlling
offences like speeding, careless driving and drunken driving.
It is no use pretending that the British police are absolutely perfect. Especially in the last few years, there have been quite a lot of
problems. The most common complaint about the police is that they are incompetent. Victims of crime often say that it is not worth
calling the police because they will do nothing. There has been a big increase in some types of crime such as car theft (Britain now
has the highest rate in Europe), and people have the impression that the battle is being lost. Even with very serious crimes, the police
