 PHILIPPINES
The Philippine National Police (PNP) is the
primary law enforcement agency in the
Philippines. It was established under
Republic Act No. 6975 and is empowered by
Section 24 to use force in making arrests
and investigation and prevention of crime.
FRANCE
France is a typical example of a police force
with multiple coordinated centralized force.
France has two national law enforcement
agencies:
Police Nationale, formerly called the Sûreté
a civilian force;
- primary responsibility in urban
areas; run under the Ministry of the Interior.
Gendarmerie Nationale, a gendarmerie;
- primary responsibility in rural areas
and military installations; run under the
Ministry of Defence and under operational
control, for most purposes, of the Ministry
of the Interior.
Apart from these two, there are other
agencies like:
Direction générale des douanes et droits
indirects,
- a civilian customs service more
commonly known as the “Douane”, under
the Minister of Budget, Public Accounting
and Civil Servants.
UNITED KINGDOM
United Kingdom (UK) which comprices
with England, Scotland and Northern
Ireland is the world oldest democracy
and policing in UK also grown from the
principle of " policing by consent". Even
though the basic premise of policing in
UK is by consent, the British Police
system as it exists now is more reverse
process of investing more power in
people by law, than policing by consent.
As such, the policing in UK has now
become policing by law, but a law which
mandates a police which is accountable
to public.
 
UK is a typical example of Multiple
Coordinated Decentralized police force.
UK does not have a national police
service, but a network of 43 individual
police forces responsible for policing
specific countries, cities or areas,
excluding the forces with special
jurisdiction. These 43 forces are formed
of more than 140,500 police officers,
14,000 volunteer special constables and
13,400 community support officers.
