It is through volunteers, funding, grants, and a working law enforcement that makes the nations of England and France’s policing what it is today.

The English form of policing dates from 1066 which was formed from a public type of department (Police, 2017).

One interesting factor is that the British police officers utilize caution when it comes to doing what is expected in their jobs. That does not mean these affiliates of the law do not answer to the law themselves, but they are some areas that their law does not have jurisdiction.
