The Indonesian National Police (Indonesian: Kepolisian Negara Republik Indonesia) is the official police force for Indonesia. It had formerly been a part of the Tentara Nasional Indonesia since its independence from the Dutch. The police were formally separated from the military in April 1999, a process which was formally completed in July 2000.[1] With 150,000 personnel, the police form a much smaller portion of the population than in most nations. The total number of national and local police in 2006 was approximately 470,000. The strength of the Indonesian National Police stood at approximately 285,000 in 2004. The national police force was formally separated as a branch of the armed forces and placed under the Office of the President in 1999. It also includes 12,000 marine police and an estimated

40,000 Peoples Security (Kamra) trainees who serve as a police auxiliary and report for three weeks of basic training each year. The Headquarter, known as Markas Besar/Mabes in Indonesian, is located in Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, Indonesia. RANKS In the early years, the Polri used European police style ranks like inspector and commissioner. When the police were included into the military structure during the 1960s, the ranks changed to a military style such as Captain, Major and Colonel. In the year 2000, when the Polri conducted the transition to a fully independent force out of the armed forces 2000, they use British style police ranks like Inspector and Superintendent. The Polri have returned to Dutch style ranks just like in the early years.

BRUNIE POLICE The Royal Brunei Police Force (Malay: Polis Diraja Brunei (PDRB)) was founded in 1921 with the passing of the Brunei Police Force Enactment. The police force is in charge of prisons, fire services, the issuing of licenses, immigration, and keeping law and order in the streets. The RBP has been a member of INTERPOL since 1984

SINGAPORE POLICE The Singapore Police Force (Abbreviation: SPF; Chinese: ; Malay: Pasukan Polis Singapura; Tamil: ) is the main agency tasked with maintaining law and order in the city-state[1]. Formerly known as the Republic of Singapore Police (Abbreviation: RSP; Malay: Polis Republik Singapura), it has grown from an 11-man organisation to a 38,587 strong force. It enjoys a relatively positive public image,[2] and is credited for helping to arrest Singapore's civic unrests and lawlessness in its early years, and maintaining the low crime rate today[3] despite having a smaller police-citizen ratio compared to other major cities.[4] Singapore has been ranked consistently in the top five positions in the Global Competitiveness Report in terms of its reliability of police services.[5] The organisation structure of the SPF is split between the staff and line functions, roughly modelled after the military.[6] There are currently 15 staff departments and 13 line units. The headquarters is located in a block at New Phoenix Park in Novena, adjacent to a twin block occupied by the Ministry of Home Affairs. RANK A standard rank structure is used throughout the police force, although some ranks may be unique to specific organisations. These ranks are denoted where applicable in the following list, which lists them in ascending seniority: Police officers The rank of Corporal was abolished in 1972, but reinstated in 1976. In 1997, all ranks were shifted from the sleeves to the epaulettes, except for the Gurkha Contingent. Also in the same year, the Station Inspector rank was changed from collar pips to epaulettes with a new design similar to that of the SAF Warrant Officers, and the rank of Senior Station Inspector was introduced. In 1998, the Senior Station Inspector (2) rank was introduced, and changes were made to the SI, SSI, and SSI(2) rank designs. The rank of Lance Corporal was abolished in 2002[23]. The 2006, the Gurkha Contingent adopted embroidered ranks as part of an overhaul of its combat dress, but are worn on the right front pocket.[1] Rank Constable Special Constable Corporal Sergeant Staff Sergeant Abbreviation Trainee Regular NSF PC T/PC NA NA SC T/SC NA SC CPL T/CPL CPL SC/CPL SGT T/SGT SGT SC/SGT SSGT NA NA NA NA NA NSmen PC NA CPL (NS) SGT (NS) SSGT SSGT SC/SSGT (NS) SSSGT SSSGT NA (NS) SI NA SI (NS) SSI NA SSI (NS) SSI(2) (NS) NSmen INSP (NS) NA ASP (NS) DSP (NS) SUPT (NS) NA VSC PC NA CPL (V) SGT (V) Gurkha PC NA CPL SGT

HONG KONG POLICE

The Hong Kong Police Force (, HKPFalias Hong Kong PoliceHKP) is the largest disciplined service under the Security Bureau of Hong Kong. It is the World's second and Asia's first police agency to operate with a modern policing system. It was formed on 1 May 1844, with a strength of 32 officers. Queen Elizabeth II granted the Royal Charter to the Hong Kong Police Force in 1969 for their handling of the Hong Kong 1967 riots, renaming the Hong Kong Police Force as the Royal Hong Kong Police Force. Following the Transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong, the Police Force now uses the current name.[1] The Hong Kong Police Force has been recognised for its professionalism, organisation, attitude on law enforcement and prompt response and efficiency, leading journalist Kevin Sinclair, Federal Bureau of Investigation and INTERPOL have acknowledged that the Hong Kong Police Force as "Asia's Finest".[2][3][4] And in having set up the foundation for the social stability of Hong Kong, and has won a good reputation as one of the safest cities in the World. In 2008, a rating investigation of Asian police departments voted by the Political and Economic Risk Consultancy Agency, result in the Hong Kong Police Force have been rated the excellence of Asian police departments. The rating awarders commented that the Hong Kong Police Force are respectable and outstanding in their performance of upholding the law and maintaining public orders, keeping the Hong Kong people living and working in peace and contentment. Furthermore, a quantitative research derived from the United States of America and United Kingdom with its statistical outcome, aims for the World's police forces' overall quality, including local public security, case cracking rate, incorruptibility, professionalism and language proficiency, etc. The result is the Hong Kong Police Force has been rated in the top of Asia, also as one of the best of the World.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11] The current Commissioner of Police is Tang King Shing, including the Hong Kong Auxiliary Police Force and civil servants, leading a force of about 40,000 personnel, which makes Hong Kong the second greatest citizen-officer ratio society in the world.[12] In addition, the Marine Region with about 3,000 officers, and a fleet of 143 is the largest of any civil police force. RANKS

The HKPF continues to use similar ranks and insignia to those used in British police forces. Until 1997, the St Edward's Crown was used in the insignia, when it was replaced with the Bauhinia flower crest of the Hong Kong government. The crest of the force was modified in 1997:

Commissioner of Police (CP) Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police (SACP) Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Superintendent of Police (SP) Chief Inspector of Police (CIP) (insignia of a Captain) Senior Inspector of Police (SIP) Inspector of Police (IP) Probationary Inspector of Police (PI) Station Sergeant (SSGT) Sergeant (SGT) Senior Constable (SPC) Police Constable (PC) ENGLAND POLICE

The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) is the territorial police force responsible for policing Greater London, excluding the "square mile" of the City of London which is the responsibility of the City of London Police.[10] The MPS also has significant national responsibilities such as coordinating and leading on counter-terrorism matters and protection of the Royal Family of the United Kingdom and senior figures of HM Government.[11] At the end of February 2010, the MPS employed 52,111 personnel. This includes sworn 33,258 police officers and 4,226 Special Constables, 14,332 civilian police staff, and 4,520 non-sworn Police Community Support Officers.[6] This makes it the largest police force within the United Kingdom by a significant margin.[12] The Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis, known commonly as Commissioner, is the overall operational leader of the force, responsible and accountable to the Metropolitan Police Authority. The post of Commissioner was first held jointly by Sir Charles Rowan and Sir Richard Mayne. The Commissioner since 27 January 2009 is Sir Paul Stephenson, QPM who had previously been the Acting Commissioner since 1 December 2008.[13] A number of informal names and abbreviations exists for the Metropolitan Police Service, such as "the Met", "Met Pol", "MP" and "the MPS". In statutes it is referred to in the lower case as the "metropolitan police force" or the "metropolitan police", without the appendage "service". The MPS is also referred to as Scotland Yard after the location of its original headquarters buildings in and around Great Scotland Yard, Whitehall.[14] The current headquarters of the MPS is New Scotland Yard. RANKS The Metropolitan Police uses the standard UK police ranks, indicated by shoulder boards, up to Chief Superintendent, but it has five ranks above that level instead of the standard three. The Metropolian Police approved the use of name badges in October 2003, with new recruits wearing the Velcro badges from September 2004. The badge consists of the wearer's rank, followed by their surname. Following controversy over alleged assaults by uniformed officers with concealed shoulder identification numbers during the G20 summit, Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson stated that "The public has a right to be able to identify any uniformed officer whilst performing their duty" by their shoulder identification numbers.

Police Constable (PC) (Divisional call sign and shoulder number) Sergeant (Sgt or PS) (three point down chevrons above divisional call sign and Shoulder Number) an "acting" Sergeant, i.e. a substantive constable being paid an allowance to undertake the duties of a sergeant for a short period of time, displays two point down chevrons above divisional call sign, and Shoulder Number. The use of the three chevrons by an acting Sergeant is technically incorrect, and should only be used during a period of temporary promotion.

CRIMINAL JURISPRUDENCE 1. Raul, a 75-year old retired cabinet secretary, has scopophiliac tendency. One Monday night, he tailed Dinky, a 14-year old neighbor, up to SM department store. While descending the elevator, he gently touched her right breast very briefly. Dinky shouted for help. Raul was arrested and charged with acts of lasciviousness. Was the charge correct? ANS. No. Raul did not exhibit lewd design as the act shows no sexual motivation when he touched Dinky's breast momentarily. The felony he committed is only unjust vexation for causing annoyance, irritation or disturbance to Dinky. 2. Rafael and Sara were newly married couple temporarily living in the house of Saras sister Monica. Monicas dog would always bark up and try to attack Rafael whenever he comes home in the midnight from work. One night, fed up with the dog, Rafael got a bolo in the nearby house and hacked the dog to death. What crimes did Rafael commit? What are his criminal liabilities? ANS. Rafael committed and incurred liabilities for the following crimes. 1. Malicious mischief - because he deliberately caused damaged to the property (dog) of his sister-in-law which is not constitutive of arson and other crimes involving destruction and he did so in a fit of anger. However, he is exempt from criminal liability given his relationship with Monica who lives with the couple in same house (absolutory cause). 2. Theft because there was taking of personal property (bolo) belonging to another and the taking was done with intent to gain and without the consent of the owner and that it was accomplished without the use of violence against or intimidation of persons or force upon things. The liability of Rafael for the crime of theft depends on the value of bolo. 3. Violation of Animal Welfare Act for killing the dog. If found guilty, he will be punished by imprisonment of not less than 6 months nor more than 2 years or a fine of not less 1,000 pesos nor more than 5,000 pesos or both at the Courts discretion. OTHER SUGGESTED ANSWER: Rafael is liable under the Animal Welfare Act of 1998, which provides that it shall be unlawful to torture or kill a dog, among other animals. While the Animal Welfare Act provides that a person is not liable if the killing is done to prevent an imminent danger to the life or limb of a human being, the facts do not show that Rafael or some other person was in imminent danger. None of the other exceptions under this law are present under the facts given above. Rafael is not liable for malicious mischief because the dog belongs to his sister-on-law, who was living together with Rafael. Rafael is also not liable for theft because the facts do not show that he took another person's personal property without the consent of the latter or that there was intent to gain.

Police ranks of the United States

The United States police rank model is generally paramilitary in structure.

Ranks
Although the large and varied number of federal, state, and local police and sheriff's departments have different ranks, a general model, from highest to lowest rank, would be:

Chief of police/police commissioner/superintendent/sheriff: The title police commissioner is used mainly by large metropolitan departments, while chief of police is associated with small and mediumsized municipalities; both are typically appointed by a mayor or selected by the city council or commission. In some cities, "commissioner" is the civilian official or member of the board of officials in charge of the department, while a "chief" is the top uniformed officer answering to the commissioner or commission. In very large departments, such as the New York City Police Department, there may be several deputy and assistant commissioners, all civilian, some of whom outrank the chief of department and others on par with the uniformed chief. There may be a chief of operations who is second in command to the top-ranking chief. In contrast, sheriffs in the United States are usually elected officials, one in each county, who head thesheriff's department (or sheriff's office).

Assistant Chief/Assistant Commissioner/Assistant Superintendent/Assistant Sheriff: Only seen in some departments. In New York City, assistant chiefs head borough commands bureaus.

Deputy Chief/Deputy Commissioner/Deputy Superintendent/Chief Deputy/undersheriff: The top lieutenant to the chief of police, commissioner, superintendent, or sheriff; may or may not have a specific area of responsibility. In some places the undersheriff is thewarden of the county jail. The New York City Sheriff's Office has five undersheriffs: each one is responsible for a borough of New York City, with the Sheriff of the City of New York overseeing all of them.

Inspector/commander: Sometime have an insignia of a single star, analogous to brigadier generals, but in other areas wear a gold or silver eagle, similar to a colonel. "Inspector" is also used as a term for "detective" in the San Francisco Police Department and Chicago Police Department but is two ranks above captain in New York and in the Philadelphia Police Department. In New York, inspectors command divisions, which may be groups of precincts within a borough or specialized branches of the police service.

Colonel: A majority of state police agencies use "colonel" as their senior executive rank, often jointly with a civilian title such as "superintendent," "commissioner" or "director." Conversely, the colonel rank is rarely employed by other agencies, though it is used by the Baltimore Police Department and other Maryland agencies as either an executive or commander-like rank. Colonels generally wear the gold or silver eagle of a colonel, or the oak leaf of a lieutenant colonel, from the U.S. armed forces.

Major/deputy inspector: Sometimes have an insignia of a gold or silver oak leaf, similar to a major or lieutenant colonel. In the Baltimore Police Department, New Orleans Police Department, and Atlanta Police Department majors supervise police stations.

Captain: Two gold or silver bars ("Railroad tracks"). Often supervises a police station but can supervise another division or unit (detectives, patrol, etc.) in smaller departments and only certain sections of a police station in larger departments. In NYC captains are the normal commanders of precincts.

Lieutenant: A single gold or silver bar, who supervises two to three or more sergeants. Lieutenants can supervise an entire watch shift of a police station or detective squad (Narcotics, Homicide, etc.) in larger police departments and entire precincts in smaller police departments.

Sergeant: Three inverted chevrons, a police officer who supervises an entire watch shift in smaller departments and areas of a precinct and individual detective squads in larger departments.

Detective/Inspector/Investigator: An investigatory specialist, usually working in plain clothes. This may be in several classes that correspond to higher supervisory and pay grades. In NYC, technically a designation: detectives do not exactly outrank police officers although they are in charge of cases

and are often senior in years of service and so have a certain degree of authority beyond police officers in specific situations.

Officer/Deputy/Corporal: A regular officer/deputy wears no rank insignia, and there may be several pay grades. Corporals, who may be senior officers or acting watch commanders, wear two inverted chevrons.

In many departments, officers from Lieutenant up wear a white shirt instead of the blue or brown uniform shirt common to lower-ranked police officers. Senior police officers may wear fretting ("scrambled eggs") on their visors. Advancement from Officer to Captain is generally by appointment after successful completion of a series of examinations, and after the officer has sufficient time in grade. Grades above Captain are generally by appointment of the chief/sheriff. In addition, there must be vacancies for a higher rank.
