COMPARATIVE POLICE SYSTEM
 INTRODUCTION
• Policing is the most obvious and apparent aspect of
the Criminal Justice System. Police systems
around the world varies in terms of approach and
practices in achieving police goals due to diversity
of culture.However, similarities are placed on the
purpose of their existence – Law Enforcement,
Maintenance of Peace and Order and Crime
Prevention
 What is Comparative Police System?
• It is the process of outlining the similarities and
differences of one police system to another in order
to discover insights in the field of international
policing.

• It is the science and art of investigating and

comparing the police system of nations. It discovers
the study of Police organizations, trainings and
methods of policing of various nations.
 Comparative Criminal Justice
What is Comparative criminal Justice?
 It is the subfield of the study of criminal justice that
compares justice systems worldwide.
3 Basic Functions of Criminal Justice Systems?
 Policing, adjudication, corrections
What is International Criminal Justice Process?
 It involves the study and description of one country’s law,
criminal procedure, or justice process (Erika Fairchild)
 Comparative Research
Usually carried out by two methods:

A. Safari Method – the researcher visits another country.

B. Collaborative Method – the researcher communicates

with a foreign researcher.
 COMPARATIVE LAW ENFORCEMENT
Theories in Comparative Policing:

1. Alertness to Crime theory

 As a nation develops, people’s alertness to crime
heightened which promotes crime awareness.

2. Economic or Migration theory

 Crime everywhere is the result of unrestrained
migration and over population in urban areas.
 Theories in Comparative Policing:

3. Opportunity theory
 As a result of higher standard of living, victims become
more careless of their belongings and opportunities for
committing crime multiply.
4. Demographic Theory
 Based on the event of when a greater number of children
are being born, because as this baby grow up, delinquent
subcultures develop out of the adolescent identity crisis.
 Theories in Comparative Policing:

5. Deprivation Theory
 It holds that progress comes along with rising
expectations that people at the bottom develops
unrealistic expectations while people at the top don’t
see themselves rising enough.
6. Modernization theory
 It sees the problem as society becoming too complex.
 Theories in Comparative Policing:

7. Theory of Anomie and Synomie

 Suggests that progressive lifestyles and norms result in
the disintegration of older norms that once held people
together.
1. Uniformed police
2. Detectives
3. Auxiliary Police
4. Special Police
5. Military Police
6. Religious Police
7. Border Police
8. Transport Port
Decentralized
Decentralized police refers to a system where police
administration and operations are independent from one state to
another. It is more applicable to countries with federal government.

Centralized
A system of police administration which has one recognized
police force operating at an entire country.
1. Establishment of a City or regional police office that can financially
support its operation to do away on a scenario that the fault of manila
police is the fault of the entire officers of the PNP.
2. Applying the Japanese Koban System and Chuzaiso in the Philippine
Policing.
3. As to the general entry qualification, height entry should not be
considered.
4. Accreditation of Non-PNP members or civilian to law enforcement
provided that specialization is merited.
5. The PNP should be separated and be fully controlled and supervised by
the National Police Commission without interference of local executives.
 What is Globalization?
• Refers to the package of transnational flows of people,
production, investment, information, ideas and
authority.
• Is the system of interaction among the countries of the
world in order to develop the global economy.
Globalization involves technological, economic,
political, and cultural exchanges made possible largely
by advances in communication, transportation, and
infrastructure.
Threats on Law Enforcement Brought About by
Globalization
1. Increasing volume of human rights violations evident
by genocide or mass killing.
2. The underprivileged gain unfair access to global
mechanisms on law enforcement and security.
3. Conflict between nations.
4. Transnational criminal networks for drug trafficking,
money laundering , terrorism, etc.

agents, usually intended to influence an audience. (US Dept. of
State)
• Drug Trafficking – is the illegal production and
distribution of controlled substances.

• Money Laundering – is the method by which criminals

disguise the illegal origins of their wealth and protect

• Cybercrime – refers to all the activities done with
criminal intent in cyberspace.

• INTERPOL – International Criminal Police

Organization is an organization facilitating
international police cooperation.
 Opportunities for Law Enforcement
1. Creation of international tribunals to deal with human
rights problems.
2. Humanitarian interventions that can promote
universal norms and link them to the enforcement
power of states.
3. Transnational professional network and cooperation
against transnational crimes.
4. Global groups for conflict monitoring and coalitions
across transnational issues.
 Different Global Police Organizations
The different international police organizations in created
to combat International crimes are:

- INTERPOL
- ASEANAPOL (association of Chiefs of police)
- Europol
- IACP
- UN Policing
INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL POLICE ORGANIZATION

TARGETS OF GLOBAL POLICE ORGANIZATIONS
• Drug Trafficking - Is the illegal cultivation, culture,
delivery, administration, dispensation, manufacture,
sale, trading, transportation, distribution, importation,
exportation and possession of any dangerous drug
and/or controlled precursor and essential chemical.

• Cybercrime – refers to all the activities done with

criminal intent in cyberspace.
 Societal Types of Police System:

1. Folk-Communal Society – has little codification of

laws, no specialization among police, and a system of
punishment that just let things go for a while without
attention until things become too much, and then harsh,
barbaric punishment is resorted to.
 Societal Types of Police System:

2. Urban-Commercial Society – has civil law (some

standards and customs are written down), specialized
police forces (some for religious offices, others for
enforcing the king’s laws), and punishment is
inconsistent, sometimes harsh, sometimes lenient
 Societal Types of Police System:

3. Urban-Industrial Society – not only has codified laws

(statutes that prohibit), but laws that prescribe good
behavior, police become specialized on how to handle
property crimes, and the system of punishment is run on
market principles of creating insensitive and
disincensitives.
 Societal Types of Police System:

4. Bureaucratic Society – has a system of laws (along

armies of lawyers), police who tend to keep busy handling
political crimes and terrorism, and a system of
punishment characterized by over criminalization and
overcrowding.
 FOUR DIFFERENT KINDS OF SOCIETIES
1. Folk-communal,
2. Urban-commercial,
3. Urban-industrial, and
4. bureaucratic.
 FOUR DIFFERENT KINDS OF SOCIETIES
1. Folk-communal societies are often seen as primitive and barbaric,
they have little specialization among law enforcers, and let many
problems go unpunished to avoid over-criminalization however,
once tempers “boil over” and the situation becomes a larger issue,
harsh and unusual punishment may be administered. Examples are
African or Middle Eastern Tribes, or early puritan settlements of
America.
2. Urban-commercial societies have few written laws and some
specialized enforcement for religious or king’s law enforcement.
Punishments are inconsistent and usually harsh.
 FOUR DIFFERENT KINDS OF SOCIETIES
3. Urban-industrial societies enforce laws that prescribe good
behavior and give incentives and disincentives for behavior and
police are specialized in property crimes such as theft.
4. bureaucratic societies are today’s modern society. They feature
fully developed laws, lawyers, and police forces trained for
multiple types of crime. Different “side effects” of these societies
include over-criminalization, overcrowding, and even juvenile
delinquency due to the extended age of adolescence these societies
bring on.
 Types of Police Systems:
1. Common Law Systems – are also known as Anglo-
American Justice, and exist in most English speaking
countries of the world, such as the US, England,
Australia and New Zealand. Distinguished by strong
adversarial system which rely primarily upon oral system
of evidence in which the public is a main focal point.
 Types of Police Systems:

2. Civil Law Systems – are also known as Continental

justice or Romano-Germanic justice and practiced
throughout most of the European union such as Sweden,
Germany, France and Japan. Distinguished by a strong
inquisitorial system where less right is granted to the
accused.
 Types of Police Systems:

3. Socialist System – is also known as Marxist-Leninist

justice, and exist in many places such as Africa and Asia
where there had been communist revolution.
Distinguished by procedures designed to rehabilitate or
retrain people into fulfilling their responsibilities to the
state.
 Types of Police Systems:

4. Islamic System – are also known as Muslim or Arabic

justice, and derive all their procedures and practices from
the interpretation of the Koran. Legal rule and religious
rule go together.
• Common law is found particularly in countries that are current or
former members of the British Empire.
• Civil law countries include most of continental Europe and various
states in South America and Africa.
• Socialist law is essentially civil law with major modifications
from Marxist-Leninist ideology. It is currently only used in China
and a few other contemporary Communist states, but has had
enormous influence on Russia and the former USSR.
• Islamic law is religiously-inspired law used in Muslim countries
 Court System of the World
1. Adversarial – The accused is innocent until proven
guilty.
2. Inquisitorial – The accused is guilty until proven
innocent.
3. Mixed System – a combination of the two
Model System - Used to describe the countries being
used as topics of discussion. These countries are chosen
not because they are greater than others but because of
their crime control efficiency and effectiveness based on
the absence of crime or low crime rate.
 MODEL POLICE SYSTEMS
1. SWITZERLAND POLICE - They are commended on
their remarkable job of managing their underclass
populations, the poor who lives in ghettos and slums.
Swiss crime control is highly effective in using an “iron
fist, velvet glove” approach towards those who commit
crime and come from the bottom echelons of Swiss
society.
 MODEL POLICE SYSTEMS

• 2. JAPAN POLICE - Low crimes in Japan have credited

from their characteristics when it comes to community
policing, a patriarchal family system, the importance of
higher education, and the way business surrogate
families.
 JAPAN POLICE SYSTEM

In Japan, police system generally enjoys wide community support

and respect. The system is so called Keisatsu Seido.
 JAPAN POLICE SYSTEM
Powers and Functions

The duties of the police in Japan are stipulated by the Police Law as;
a. Protecting the life, person and property of an individual citizen
b. Preventing, suppressing and investigation of crimes
c. Controlling traffic
d. maintaining public safety and order

In order to carry out these duties, police engage in various activities. The
main subject of the police duties is the control of crimes. In addition, the
police attend to a wide range of administrative duties to maintain public
peace and order.
 JAPAN POLICE SYSTEM

Organizational Structure

1. National Public Safety Commission

The mission of the National Public Safety Commission is to
guarantee the neutrality of the police by insulating the force from political
pressure and to ensure the maintenance of democratic methods in police
administration.
The commission's primary function is to supervise the National Police
Agency, and it has the authority to appoint or dismiss senior police officers.
The commission consists of a chairman, who holds the rank of minister of
state, and five members appointed by the prime minister with the consent of

2. National Police Agency

- As the central coordinating body for the entire police system
- The National Police Agency determines general standards and policies;
detailed direction of operations is left to the lower echelons.
- In a national emergency or large-scale disaster, the agency is authorized to
take command of prefectural police forces.
- The agency is headed by a commissioner general who is appointed by the
National Public Safety Commission with the approval of the prime
minister.
- The Central Office includes the Secretariat, with divisions for general
operations, planning, information, finance, management, and procurement
and distribution of police equipment, and five bureaus
 JAPAN POLICE SYSTEM

3. Prefectural Police
- Each prefectural police headquarters contains administrative divisions
corresponding to those of the bureaus of the National Police Agency.
- Headquarters are staffed by specialists in basic police functions and
administration and are commanded by an officer appointed by the local
office of the National Public Safety Commission.
- Most arrests and investigations are performed by prefectural police
officials, who are assigned to one or more central locations within the
prefecture.
- Experienced officers are organized into functional bureaus and handle all
but the most ordinary problems in their fields.
 JAPAN POLICE SYSTEM

Personnel Strength

The personnel of the NPA and the Prefectural Police forces are
composed of police officers, members of the Imperial Guard, and civilian
employees such as clerical workers and technical engineers. All these
personnel work as one body to perform police duties. On the basis of the
present authorized nation-wide police strength, the ratio of police to
population is one police officer to about 555 citizens. The burden is
considerably heavy as compared with that of Western countries.
 JAPAN POLICE SYSTEM

The NPA Commissioner General holds the highest position of the

Japanese police. His title is not a rank, but rather denotes his position as
head of the NPA. On the other hand, the Superintendent General (Keishi-
Sokan) represents not only the highest rank in the system but also
assignment as head of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department . The
most basic rank is Police Officer (Junsa)
 JAPAN POLICE SYSTEM
Well-Known Koban
- These are substations near major transportation hubs and shopping areas
and in residential districts.
- They form the first line of police response to the public. The Koban system
is composed of about 6500 police boxes (Koban) and about 7600
residential police boxes (Chuzaisho).
- Koban is staffed by relatively small number of police officers (3-5 officers
in usual), and also Chuzaisho is usually staffed by a single officer.
- About 20 percent of the total police force is assigned to koban. Staffed by
officers working in eight-hour shifts, they serve as a base for foot patrols
and usually have both sleeping and eating facilities for officers on duty but
not on watch.

ostracization (shunning).
 HONGKONG POLICE SYSTEM

The Hong Kong Police Force 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 strength of 32 officers.
 HONGKONG POLICE SYSTEM

Powers and Functions

In Hong Kong, the major role of the police is to discourage and investigate
crimes, with particular emphases on crime against persons or property and
the maintenance of public order, and if able to apprehend suspected
perpetrators, to detain them, and inform the appropriate authorities. Police
are often used as an emergency service and may provide public safety
function at large gatherings, emergencies, disasters, and search and rescue
situations.

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. The highest rank is
Commissioner and the lowest is Constable.
 AUSTRALIA POLICE SYSTEM

The Australian Federal Police (AFP) is the federal police agency of

the Commonwealth of Australia. Although the AFP was created by the
amalgamation in 1979 of three Commonwealth law enforcement
agencies, it traces its history from Commonwealth law enforcement
agencies dating back to the federation of Australia's six precursor British
self-governing colonies in 1901.
 AUSTRALIA POLICE SYSTEM

Powers and Functions

The role of the AFP is to enforce Commonwealth of Australia criminal law and
to protect Commonwealth and national interests from crime in Australia and
overseas. The AFP is Australia's international law enforcement and policing
representative, and the Government's chief source of advice on policing issues.
 AUSTRALIA POLICE SYSTEM

Organizational Structure
The AFP falls within the portfolio of the Home Affairs Ministry, a ministerial
position outside of the Cabinet and subordinate to the Attorney-General. Prior to the
creation of this ministerial portfolio with the commencement of Rudd Government in
November 2007, the Minister responsible for the AFP was the Minister for Justice
and Customs. The AFP is Australia's international law enforcement and policing
representative, and is the chief advisor on policing issues to the Australian
Government. The AFP maintains an extensive international liaison network; officers
are posted to 33 international posts. The AFP works closely and collaboratively with
all Australian police forces and criminal investigative agencies and Crime
Commissions.
 AUSTRALIA POLICE SYSTEM

Personnel Strength

The AFP consists of a workforce of over 6500. The Australian Federal Police
Act 1979 is the legislative base for the employment of all AFP staff. Each
employee is described in the legislation as an AFP Employee, who are then
declared as either a Member (Police Officer, Federal agent) or (Uniform
Protection Officer)-Protective Service Division. In addition, the
Commissioner may appoint any person as a Special Member of the AFP. A
Special Member may be given any powers and duties of an AFP member
under the Act but is not regarded as a special constable.

 UNITED STATES POLICING
Law enforcement in the United States is one of three major components of
the criminal justice system, along with courts and corrections. Although, there
exist an inherent interrelatedness between the different groups that make up the
criminal justice system based on their crime deterrence purpose, each component
operates independently from one another. However, the judiciary is vested with
the power to make legal determinations regarding the conduct of the other two
components.
 UNITED STATES POLICING
Powers and Functions
Scholars have identified three primary police agency functions;
1. Order maintenance—this is the broad mandate to keep the peace or
otherwise prevent behaviors which might disturb others.
2. Law enforcement—those powers are typically used only in cases where
the law has been violated and a suspect must be identified and
apprehended
3. Service- this includes rendering first aid, providing tourist information,
guiding the disoriented, or acting as educators. As a result, police services
may include roadside auto assistance, providing referrals to other
agencies, finding lost pets or property, or checking locks.
 UNITED STATES POLICING

Organizational Structure

Policing in the United States is conducted by numerous

types of agency at many different levels. Every state has
their own nomenclature for agencies, and their powers,
responsibilities and funding varies from state to state.
 UNITED STATES POLICING
1. Federal
- Possess full federal authority as given to them under United States Code (U.S.C.).
Federal Law Enforcement Officers are authorized to enforce various laws at the
federal level.
- The Department of Justice (DOJ) is responsible for most law enforcement duties at
the federal level including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Drug
Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and
Explosives (ATF), the United States Marshals Service, the Federal Bureau of
Prisons (BOP) and others.
- The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is another branch with numerous
federal law enforcement agencies reporting to it. U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), United States
Secret Service (USSS), United States Coast Guard (USCG), and the
Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
 UNITED STATES POLICING
2. State
Most all states operate statewide government agencies that provide law
enforcement duties, including investigations and state patrols. They may be
called State Police, State Patrol or Highway Patrol, and are normally part of
the state Department of Public Safety.
3. County
Also known as parishes and boroughs, county law enforcement is provided
by Sheriffs‘ Departments or Offices and County police.
a) County police- tend to exist only in metropolitan counties and have countywide
jurisdiction.
b) Sheriffs' offices
 UNITED STATES POLICING
4. Municipal

Municipal police range from one-officer agencies

(sometimes still called the town marshal). Most municipal
agencies take the form (Municipality Name) Police
Department. Many individual cities and towns will have their
own police department, with larger communities typically
having larger departments with greater budgets, resources,
and responsibilities. i.e. New York Police Department
 UNITED STATES POLICING
Personnel Strength
An examination of the 2004 law enforcement employee data by
population group showed that in the nation’s cities collectively there
were 3 law enforcement employees per 1,000 inhabitants. Of the
population groups with the city label, cities with 10,000 or less in
population had the highest rate of law enforcement employees, 4.2
police personnel per 1,000 inhabitants.
 UNITED STATES POLICING
Rank Classifications

The United States police rank model is generally quasi-military

in structure. Although the large and varied number of federal, state,
and local police departments and sheriff's office have different ranks,
a general model, from highest to lowest rank, would be:
 UNITED STATES POLICING
1. Chief of police/police commissioner/superintendent/sheriff
2. Assistant Chief/Assistant Commissioner/Assistant
Superintendent/Assistant Sheriff
3. Deputy Chief/Deputy Commissioner/Deputy Superintendent/Chief

 UNITED KINGDOM POLICING

Law enforcement in the United Kingdom is organized separately in

each of the legal systems of the United Kingdom, i.e., England & Wales,
Northern Ireland and Scotland, administration of police matters is not
generally affected by the Government of Wales Act 2006. In the United
Kingdom, every person has limited powers of arrest if they see an indictable
crime being committed – these are called "every person powers", commonly
referred to as a "citizen's arrest".
 UNITED KINGDOM POLICING
Organizational Structure
There are four general types of agency, mostly concerned with policing the
general public and the rest concerned with localized policing:
1. territorial police forces- who carry out the majority of policing
2. special police forces- which are national police forces that have a specific,
and non-regional jurisdiction
3. Non-police law enforcement agencies- whose officers are not police
constables, but still enforce laws
4. Miscellaneous police forces- mostly having their foundations in older
legislation or Common Law.
 UNITED KINGDOM POLICING
Personnel Strength
There were 143,734 full-time equivalent (FTE) police officers in the
43 police forces of England and Wales as at 31 March 2010. This is
a decrease of 35 officers compared to a year earlier. There were
6,642 Full Time Equivalents (FTE) minority ethnic officers in the 43
forces of England and Wales, 4.6 per cent of the total police
strength, compared with 4.4 per cent on 31 March 2009; the FTE
police officer strength figure for the 43 forces of England and Wales
as of 31 March 2010.
 UNITED KINGDOM POLICING

Rank Classifications
Most territorial police forces and special police forces outside
of London, have a standard set of ranks: Constable, Sergeant,
Inspector, Chief Inspector, Superintendent, Chief Superintendent,
Assistant Chief Constable, Deputy Chief Constable, and Chief
Constable. Ranks up to Chief Superintendent can be held in either
a uniformed or detective capacity, whereas after that the "Chief
Officer" ranks are concerned with the overall management and
effective running of the force.
 UNITED KINGDOM POLICING

Throughout the United Kingdom, the rank structure of

police forces is identical up to the rank of Chief Superintendent.
At higher ranks, structures are distinct within London where the
Metropolitan Police Service and the City of London Police have a
series of Commander and Commissioner ranks as their top ranks
whereas other UK police forces have assistants, deputies and a
Chief Constable as their top ranks.

 FRANCE POLICING SYSTEM

Law enforcement in France is conducted at the national

and municipal level, and is the responsibility of a variety of law
enforcement agencies. Three agencies operate at the national
level, and at the local level each commune is able to maintain
their own municipal police. Paris does not have its own police
municipale and that the Police Nationale provides these services
directly as a subdivision of France's Ministry of the Interior. Only
certain, designated police officers have the power to conduct
criminal investigations, and such investigations are supervised
by investigative magistrates.
 FRANCE POLICING SYSTEM
Brief Historical Background
In France , the National Police (French: Police nationale),
formerly the Sûreté nationale, is one of two national police
forces and the main civil law enforcement agency of France,
with primary jurisdiction in cities and large towns. The other
main agency is the military Gendarmerie, with primary
jurisdiction in smaller towns and rural and border areas. The
National Police comes under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of
the Interior and has about 145,699 employees (in April 2008).
 FRANCE POLICING SYSTEM
Powers and Functions

1. Administrative policing
The police administrative comprise a variety of actions undertaken under
the direction and supervision of the executive branch, notably the prefect,
police and gendarmerie forces conduct a variety of actions ensuring public
order. They include:
 directing road traffic
 channelling street demonstrations
 positioning riot control forces (CRS or Mobile Gendarmerie)
 FRANCE POLICING SYSTEM

2. Judicial policing

The police judiciaire comprises a variety of actions undertaken

under the direction and supervision of the judiciary. They include:
• pursuing and arresting suspects
• interrogating suspects in some phases of judicial enquiries
• gathering evidence
• serving search warrants
 FRANCE POLICING SYSTEM

These actions must follow the rules given in the

Code of Penal Procedure (Code de procédure pénale),
articles 12 to 29. In order to better fulfill these missions,
the Direction Centrale de la Police Judiciaire of the
French National Police regroups all the units specialized
in criminal enquiries. The Gendarmerie counterpart is
the sections de recherche (research sections).
 FRANCE POLICING SYSTEM

Organizational Structure
1. National Agencies
France has three national police forces:
a) Police Nationale, formerly called the Sûreté, a civilian force; it has primary responsibility
for major cities and large urban areas run under the Ministry of the Interior; its strength is
roughly 150,000 agents.
b) Gendarmerie Nationale, a gendarmerie; it has primary responsibility for smaller towns
and rural areas, as well as all military installations; run by the Ministry of Defence but
under operational control, for most purposes, of the Ministry of the Interior); its strength
is roughly 100,000 agents.
c) Direction générale des douanes et droits indirects, a civilian customs service more
commonly known as the Douane, under the Ministry of Budget, Public Accounting and
Civil Servants; its strength is roughly 20,000 agents.
 FRANCE POLICING SYSTEM

Those three agencies are the only ones legally

capable of making full arrests or serving search warrants.
A similar diffusion exists, or has existed, in several other
countries following the French system.
 FRANCE POLICING SYSTEM

2. Other agencies
The municipal policemen can notice all the breaches but
cannot investigate. Police Municipale are the local police of
towns and cities in France. The French municipal police are
under the direct authority of the Mayor, Rural communes may
also form a garde champetre which is responsible for limited
local patrol and protecting the environment. In Wallis and
Futuna, there is a territorial guard as well as royal police.
 FRANCE POLICING SYSTEM
Rank Classifications
The National Police is divided into three corps, in the terminology of the French
Civil Service, in ascending order of seniority:
1. The Corps de maîtrise et d'application (Authority and Enforcement Corps)
corresponds approximately to the enlisted and non-commissioned ranks in a military
force, or to constables and sergeants in a British-style civil police force.
 Brigadier-major
 Brigadier-chef
 Brigadier

ranks of a military force, or to grades of inspector in a British-style civil police
force. These ranks were previously known as inspecteurs if detectives or
officiers de la paix if uniformed, although CRS officers always used the current
ranks.
 Commandant (formerly Commandant or Inspecteur divisionnaire)
