SCOTLAND POLICE

      Provođenje zakona u Ujedinjenom Kraljevstvu organizirano je odvojeno za svaki od pravnih sistema UK: Engleske i Walesa, Sjeverne Irske i Škotske. Većinu u provođenju zakona imaju pripadnici regionalnih policijskih organizacija u okvirima svoje jurisdikcije. Svoje aktivnosti usklađuju sa specijalnim i drugim službama na regionalnom ili državnom nivou. Prvenstvene dužnosti policajaca su zaštita života i vlasništva, osiguranje mira te prevencija i otkrivanje kriminalnih djela.

      Law enforcement in the United Kingdom is organised separately in each of the legal systems of the United Kingdom: England and Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. Most law enforcement is carried out by police officers serving in regional police services within one of these jurisdictions. These regional services are complemented by UK-wide agencies, such as the, and specialist bodies hosted by regional police forces, such as the Specialist Operations directorate of the Mtropolitan Police. Police officers are granted certain powers to enable them to execute their duties. Their primary duties are the protection of life and property, preservation of the peace, and prevention and detection of criminal offences.

      Engleska i Wales (velški: Cymru a Lloegr) jedna je od tri pravne jurisdikcije Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva. Pokriva konstitutivne zemlje Englesku i Wales i formirana je Zakonima Walesa iz 1535. i 1542. godine. Materijalno pravo jurisdikcije je englesko pravo. Bilo je više poziva od strane velških akademika i političara za zasebnim velškim pravosudnim sustavom.

      England and Wales (Welsh: Cymru a Lloegr) is one of the three legal jurisdictions of the United Kingdom. It covers the constituent countries England and Wales and was formed by the Laws in Wales Acts 1535 and 1542. The substantive law of the jurisdiction is English law. There have been multiple calls from both Welsh academics and politicians for a separate Welsh justice system.
