    As a UK officer - the best skill is talking to someone. Plenty of situations can be defused by speaking to people at a reasonable level and treating them as human, instead of shouting orders at them like many American officers seem to do.

    Some years ago there was a case in the US where a police officer not on duty deescalated a situation with a armed man by talking with him and calm im down almost to point to give up. Then the police arrived and barge in screaming like a drill sergant. The officer who deescalated the situation lost his job because of this.

    That's why I don't see why in that list German Police are worser American Police. To me that list looks very noncredible and not even an explaining what criteria were used for that ranking. Education? Psychic training? Deescalation skills? Kill-Ratio? By the way, american education to police officer are very short in relation to ours.

Better than the French who may be professionally good, but tend to get out of control and are generally not friendly at all. The Bundespolizei on the other hand are usually helpful, and not heavy-handed, or "macho" as their American colleagues seem to be.

    It's a vicious circle in the US. Guns are so common in the US that American police have to be tough. Making them tough makes them more aggressive, which makes Americans more aggressive towards them. And so on. FWIW, they're unarmed here in New Zealand too but, as in the UK, armed SWAT-like teams are quickly available as backup. And - also like British police - NZ cops are very friendly for the most part.

    I think training makes a *big* difference too, apparently in some parts of the US you can become an armed police officer with just two weeks total training! That training includes both general policing and fire arms training. Whereas in the UK you have to have been a qualified officer for years before you'll even be considered for fire arms training. The UK training also has an emphasis on de-esculation and I believe that officers need permission to shoot.

He told me to stop taking the piss and to show him , so I did and on seeing my collection he first said “do you have a license for these” to which I replied yes . He then said you really shouldn’t be carrying these about to which I replied I’ve just come from a gun club and the shooting range I can’t exactly walk with them .

    If you had asked me earlier last year about our police here in Denmark, I would have been pretty neutral or positive. But a documentary came out late last year about how the police in Vejle (a city) had been harassing a syrian family for apparently no reason at all for a long time and where it had been judge multiple times in court that the police was in the wrong. It was brutal to see and find out that something that seems so wrong was/is happening here. Then multiple articles came out about this civilian dressed police force was behaving like thugs and beating up people, for again no good reason. A woman also got hit because she tried to save someone from a beating, because she though it was thugs. The group had been named "tæskeholdet" which translate to something like "beating team". The most frustrating thing is that, you would think that a country like Denmark would go in and say "this is far from okay. This need to stop and the people behind this need to be punished accordingly." but no. The team was broken off but are still a part of the police force. It is disgusting. Something like this should not be allowed to grow, because if it does then it will go out of control. This might also be the reason police in some countries have lost control. Because we did not stop it in the early stages and let it grow.

On top of that, Sydøstjyllands Politikreds denied the familys story completely and stated, that the events were portraied incorrectly. And regarding tæskeholdende: There was an investigation launched by the police itself, as well as an investigation by DUP (Den uafhængige politiklagemyndighed, which is an independent internal investigation unit if LEOs are involved). Not stating that everything the police here does is right, but two incidents of supposed misuse of force by police is really no big deal and unpreventable in every occupation...

    In Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, police officers brutally assaulted and burned an asylum seeker alive for being drunk; different judges ruled his death an "accident" multiple times over the years, despite crystal-clear evidence pointing otherwise. The perpetrators (incl. a doctor) never had to face real consequences. Look up Oury Jalloh, there are several documentaries about his murder. The same police station is responsible for other "mysterious" fatalities that were never investigated. Also the stepson of one of the police officers r*aped and beat a Chinese architecture student to death... and everyone helped covering it up. There are black sheep within the police force everywhere, but it's especially disturbing when it concerns internationally well-respected countries with a seemingly excellent judicial system.

In the UK as a whole, police are not armed; however, in Northern Irekand (part of the UK) police have ALWAYS been arned due to their dual role (1) ordinary, normal police work, and (2) combatting terrorism. While the police vehicles in mainland Britain are easily distinguishable by their Battenburg markings, i.e. blue and yellow chequered decals, the police vehicles in Northern Ireland are easily distinguishable from the rest of the world as they are grey-coloured, armoured Landrovers with pivotal windscreen grills designed to protect against petrol bombs and other hand missiles and small-arms fire. Formerly the Royal Ulster Constabulary, they are now the Police Service of Northern Ireland - the ONLY UK police to be permanently armed.

In the first place, police only do what the governments tell them, and thus can become a political pawn, and that applies to all countries. Secondly, while the RUC were indeed mainly Protestant, it was purely for the simple reason that Catholics were intimidated by the Nationalist/Republican leaders who warned them not to join or else!! The message was clear, and that's the way it has always been. In my job I had to meet police all over the UK, and I've met and talked with literally thousands. I met many Catholic officers in the RUC - fine men who had served up to ten and fifteen years alongside their Protestant colleagues with never a problem. In a riot situation, it doesn't matter whether the brick that hits you is thrown by a Protestant or Catholic, a Unionist or a Nationalist; it's a situation that police all over the world have to deal with regardless of political or other motivation. I've listened to Catholic and Protestant officers discuss the many situations in NI, and the usual consensus is that they are there to do the government's bidding, whether they liked it or not. In every instance I found decent men trying under very difficult circumstances to do the job they were paid to do. I've met Catholic officers who where not just threatened by local people, but had their familes boycotted and ostracised, just because they chose to become police officers. When you not only allow, but encourage youn children to stand in front of their parents and throw petrol bombs at police, it says a lot about the parents, and yet you applaud this kind of behaviour and put the blame on the police. At the end of the day, if you create and provoke a violent situation, you're going to get a violent response and blame everyone else except yourself for the outcome.

    In general the British Police are unarmed, but there are armed units everywhere if required. You will see heavily armed officers in higher risk areas, like around Government & military premises, & these are very visible. Many normal police officers are asking to be removed from gun duty because of an officer that has been charged about the shooting of a suspect while on duty. These men do not want a similar offence to be laid against them. As a rule the British police aim is to work for & with the public, to serve the law rather than to enforce it. It is known as policing by consent, not by force. The police tend to present to the public as friendly & polite, & helpful. You usually have no problem approaching a police officer to ask for help or advice etc, they even arrest people in a respectful way, unless confronted aggressively. It is very unlikely that an officer will point a gun at you, unless you pose a threat yourself.

I also did not expect to see the USA Police in the top 10, particularly as they are not a single police force, but made up of about 18,000 individual police agencies. As you say, what metrics were they using???

Three French police took it in turn walking down to the back of the bus and out again.

    How the UK Police got first video, genuinely baffles me. I don't know about anywhere else in England or the UK but in London the police is actually a joke. They don't actually care about the crimes you report, they'll just overlook it. A big example of this is, my dad's car was broken into in 2016, we reported to the police, and they never solved the problem, even though the street had CCTV, but they still didn't care. Another big thing, is when it comes to missing people, My little brother (14 yrs old) has been missing since August 2023, and the police just don't really care. Although it is very difficult to find someone in a massive city like London, they still don't really care. I've had the search called off multiple times. The Metropolitan Police only do stuff that conveniences them. Unless it's a massive crime, they'll just overlook it.

They support officers in Neighbourhood Policing Teams, improving standards of witness care or providing enhanced levels of customer service and helping the public at police stations, etc. We also have nearly as many Police Community Support officers who have some but not all the legal powers of the police but are paid. PCSOs generally perform routine duties, assisting and supporting police officers, gathering intelligence, carrying out security patrols and, through their presence alone, reassuring the public.

While the RCMP is a national (and arguably the best police force in the world, period) force who cover all of the areas that no one else does, you still have the separate provincial forces as well as local forces in cities large enough to justify them. For example, Toronto has its metropolitan police (with the exception of the 400-series highways that cut through the city, which are patrolled by the Ontario Provincial Police. (Trivia Pop Quiz!

    That police force ranking is completely Bs. If it was about best special units, then Austria would be among them with our Cobra Spezial Unit. Also, I do not know anything in which the UK police is best in.

    In France we have the RAID (police) and the GIGN (gendarmerie), both train many special forces of other countries.

    Austria won in the CTC = Combat Team Conference (the police special unit force WM) again in 2023 against Germany. This special challenge takes over a few days and held in 4-years-circle. And it's not only about police force - military force too! Austria not only CTC one, but three times from what I gathered: 2003, 2015 and of course 2023. Also pleasedon't forget Jadgkommando - an Austrian special force from our military.

    In Spain we have the UME (the military emergency unit born in 2005) that is well known inside and outside Spain. They are a military force (includes Guardia Civil, a police group that is part of the military) that helps in all kind of emergencies: fires, floods, mountain rescues, earthquakes... I know they helped to construct the same unit in other countries and they go to emergencies around the world. I'm surprised Spain wasn't mentioned because we collaborate with other polices (French and Portuguese) and we had a terrorist group (disbanded in 2011) making our police very aware of dangerous activities. Our Policía Nacional is one of the most followed in social media accounts of the world because they give tips to be safe and alert the citizens of dangerous situations, make tutorials on how to change a tire safely on the road or how to put the snow chains. All very "modern" for an old soul like me.

    The guy being pulled over by the armed cops is calm because he knows there is a VERY low chance of him being shot.

    The thin blue line comes from the thin red line which refers to the British formation in battle which spread soldiers in two ranks to maximise firepower as opposed to massed phalanx tactics. It was later associated with the Crimean war and at some stage about a century ago, changed to thin blue line and associated with police in the U.S. Has since been adopted by neo Nazis and alt right.

    Well, if the British police are rolling up on you like that, you could just be minding your own business but you’re Irish or Brazilian or Muslim or whatever.
