8. Study the text to find the answers to the questions below: The British Police

Britain has no national police force, although police policy is governed by the central Government’s Home Office. Instead, there is a separate police force for each of 52 areas into which the country is divided.

In Britain the police do not usually carry guns in their day-time work. The only policemen who carry weapons are those who guard politicians and diplomats, policemen of special units, or special officers who patrol airports.

Each police force has its own Criminal Investigation Department (CID). Members of CIDs are detectives, and they do not wear uniforms.

Policemen are to be seen in towns and cities keeping law and order, either walking in pairs down the streets ("walking the beat") or driving specially marked police cars. Once known as 'panda cars' because of their distinctive markings (характерне забарвлення), these are now often jokingly referred to as 'jam sandwiches' because of the pink fluorescent stripe running horizontally around the bodywork. In the past, policemen were often known as 'bobbies' after Sir Robert Peel, the founder of the police force. Nowadays, common nicknames include 'the cops', 'the fuzz', 'the pigs', and 'the Old Bill' (particularly in London).

Scotland Yard is a popular name for the headquarters of London Metropolitan Police Force. The name is derived from a small area where the headquarters was situated from 1829 to 1890. The administrative head of Scotland Yard is the commissioner, who is appointed by the Crown on the recommendation of the Home Secretary.

Scotland Yard has the following departments: administration, traffic and transport, the CID and police recruitment and training.
