LAW ENFORCEMENT

• Motorised Transport - Police can reach crimes faster, fewer officers on the street.
• Armed Police Officers - Look more like soldiers, not supported by everyone.
• Diversity - Police include women and different ethnic groups.
• Special units - Tackle different types of crime. For example, the Economic Crime Unit deals with large scale fraud, as they have a special understanding of financial systems.
• When was the Neighbourhood Watch established?

  1982
• Neighbourhood Watch - Volunteers help prevent/detect crime in their neighbourhood. Increase vigilance/education to prevent crime and reduce fear.
• Police Community Support Officers (2002) - Prevent crime in communities by working with schools and community groups like the neighbourhood watch to educate people to help protect themselves and their property.
• Science and technology such as radios, DNA evidence, CCTV, computers, vehicles and finger printing have changed law enforcement and policing.
