I recall reading somewhere that there is no such thing as a Police Force - merely a Police Service - and that the various Local Authorities around the country no longer employ Policemen and Policewomen - merely Police Officers - because a Policeman/woman has to uphold the Law of the Land whilst a Police Officer does not - a change of Terms and Conditions of Employment means that they can still arrest you for various minor offences but mostly they only issue Statutory Fines and the like which would seem to indicate that they are merely an extension of HMRC. They can, of course, shoot and taser you if so directed but only if you are very young and they have had a good lunch.
