Chapter 1941 Police (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!!! Please Subscribe!!! Please Recommend!!!)

Sage was questioned by Kai, and said with a bitter face: "Boss, there is nothing we can do. This is not our jurisdiction!"

The American police system is different from that of China. The predecessor of the American police can be traced back to the slave patrols (SLAVEPATROLS) in the colonial period. This is a local armed organization in the American colonial period where white people served as sheriffs. Rather than sheriffs, they are private soldiers of the manor owners. After the end of the War of Independence, the United States established police forces in major cities with reference to the British professional police model. Although there are professional police, the original personnel of these policemen are basically funded by the local parliament masters, and they are essentially private soldiers. They are called private soldiers, but in fact they are giving Americans a face. To put it in a more "earthy" way, they are the "returning home group" of the landlords. It was before, and it is still now. Therefore, American police are naturally incompatible with civilians, especially black civilians. Of course, this is another topic, so I won't go into details here.

The American police system is different from any other country in the world. Especially compared with a country like ours with a strong central government, the American police department is so loose that it is outrageous. In China, the police, a national public power institution, is subject to dual management. A municipal public security bureau is managed by the central public security ministry and the provincial public security bureau, and the municipal party committee is also the main leader of the municipal public security bureau. The purpose of this dual leadership is to limit the power of the public security department as much as possible to ensure judicial fairness and that the police can become a group that serves the society and the people. In most countries in the world with normal public security conditions, the situation is basically the same. Except for Canada, which is basically a brother of the United States, the police are basically a national public power institution with a very strict organizational relationship. In the United States, there is no national police headquarters, and the states do not have a unified command authority. The state has its own police department, which is managed by the governor. The local police are completely managed by the local government, and the city police are mostly managed by the mayor or the council. In the town, the power of the town police is completely under the town mayor. Therefore, in early American westerns, you can often see the mayor and the local sheriff colluding with each other. Basically, the town police are the mayor's private armed forces.

Perhaps someone will ask, doesn't the United States have an FBI? One thing that needs to be noted here is that the full name of the FBI is the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which is equivalent to a "criminal police organization" that focuses on investigating major crimes in the United States. However, the public power of the police only accounts for a small part of criminal investigations. Most of the time, the FBI cannot intervene in local public security issues. Local public security issues are the core of the contradiction between civilians and police in American society. It is precisely because the police departments in the United States are independent that they have formed very closed small groups. The influence of "parochialism" on each small group naturally forms their own different power culture.

In the United States, there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates between federal, state, county, and city police, and their police badges, police uniforms, police cars, and logos are also different. The federal-level "police agency" is called a law enforcement agency, and the official title of its law enforcement officers is a federal agent. The law enforcement agencies do not have a unified central command agency, and there is no subordinate relationship between them. Among them, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection is the federal law enforcement agency with the largest number of staff, with more than 27,000 agents on the payroll. It is affiliated with the Department of Homeland Security and was established after the "911" incident by the General Customs Service, the Immigration Planning Bureau, the Border Patrol, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service and other units. Its main task is to fight against terrorist cross-border sabotage activities and detain and deport illegal immigrants.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) under the Department of Justice is the most famous federal law enforcement agency. In addition to preventing the United States from being attacked by foreign intelligence agencies, the FBI also has the function of cracking major cases such as cybercrime, violent crime, organized crime, and corruption. There are more than 12,000 agents working for it. Different from what is presented in film and television works, although the FBI is a federal law enforcement agency, it cannot command local police or sheriffs when handling cases. If a joint case is required, the FBI and the police department are in a cooperative relationship, not a superior-subordinate relationship. In order to facilitate law enforcement operations, the FBI has set up 56 branches across the United States, each of which has an office under it, and each office has at least two staff members. In addition, 65 departments including the Federal Secret Service, Federal Bureau of Prisons, Federal Drug Enforcement Administration, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Postal Investigation Bureau, Fish and Wildlife Service, and Capitol Police are all federal law enforcement agencies. Therefore, although a federal agent sounds impressive, he may just be a "special agent" of the Fish and Wildlife Service investigating the poaching of rare wild animals. The scope of power and responsibility of state police agencies in the United States is more complicated. Some state police (Highway Patrol) are only responsible for patrolling the state's highways in order to implement state traffic regulations, prevent and investigate traffic accidents. Some state police have complete law enforcement functions, including crime prevention and detection, maintaining public order, and road patrols. The largest state police agency in the United States, the California Highway Patrol, is not only responsible for the safety along the highway, but also provides protection for potential terrorist targets such as the Bay Bridge, nuclear power plants, government buildings, and important infrastructure within its territory. However, in general, the scale of state police agencies is not large, and the total number of state police in the United States is only more than 60,000.

The sheriff is actually an employee of the county police agency. Interestingly, in my country, the county is an administrative district under the jurisdiction of the city, while in the United States, it is just the opposite. The city is just a large residential area within the county. The scale of the city is smaller than that of the county. The county in the United States generally has multiple cities and towns. Therefore, the county-level sheriff has a larger jurisdiction than the city police. Although the scope of law enforcement for the sheriff is much larger than that of the police, and the level of the city is lower than that of the county, the work of the city police (police in a narrow sense) is more complicated than that of the county sheriff. Because cities are the most densely populated and complex places in the United States, murders, robberies and other vicious cases occur from time to time. Although the area of ​​the county is larger, it is sparsely populated and the security situation is relatively simple. Often a sheriff governs a rural area of ​​dozens of kilometers, but there are many vicious security incidents. Therefore, city-level units need to hire more police. Therefore, there are more than 460,000 city police in the United States, while there are only more than 170,000 county-level sheriffs and deputy sheriffs.

County sheriffs have the right to take over the city's police work according to their administrative level, but county sheriffs have limited funds and are often reluctant to meddle in other people's business. In addition to the four levels of federal, state, county, and city police agencies, there are also some police officers in the United States who have jurisdiction over special areas, such as campus police and park police. Not only is the police system in the United States complex, but there is also no permanent agency to maintain the coordination and cooperation of various departments. For example, if a gangster robs a campus post office and drives away across state lines, at least two state police, two county sheriffs, the Postal Investigation Bureau, the campus police department, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation all have the right to investigate the case. However, the departments will not hinder each other because federal law enforcement agencies have resources such as reconnaissance equipment and fingerprint databases covering the entire United States. According to statistics, there are nearly 80,000 federal law enforcement agencies in the United States, accounting for 8% of the total number of police officers in the country, and the expenditure accounts for about 15% of the national police work. Therefore, cross-state cases are often directly handed over to federal law enforcement agencies for handling, and local police still focus on public security work in their own jurisdictions.

They are not subordinate to each other, nor are they related to each other.

They can be collectively called police, but in fact, they are not related.

For example, if a policeman from one region goes to another region, he has no law enforcement power. You can notify the local police station and ask for assistance, but you cannot rush in and arrest people directly! This is an offense to the local law enforcement power!

Of course, in many cases, such things can be discussed. As long as there is no big conflict between the police in the two regions, everyone can communicate. But it cannot be a big deal, otherwise it will be very troublesome. It is very common for American police to argue over law enforcement power.

The FBI and local police stations have been fighting for this for many years. In fact, any police station hates others to extend their hands to their jurisdiction.

This is very rude behavior.

This is even more true for police stations in different regions. For example, the New York City Police Department has no law enforcement power in areas outside the city, even if it is a suburb of New York City!

This is not like in China, where the city police department has leadership over the county and township police teams below.

This is not the case here. No matter how big the New York City Police Department is, it is only a local police station. You have no law enforcement power outside New York City.

In this case, support must be provided through local law enforcement agencies.

The area where Kai and his friends are located, although according to the conventional division, is indeed within the scope of New York City, after all, it is not far from the city. But this is not the jurisdiction of the New York City Police Department, and they have not outsourced the local security services to the New York City Police Department (this kind of outsourcing is possible, for example, if the local police force is really insufficient and the locals are too lazy to do it, they can outsource the security to a large police station, or even several towns share a police station, and they can hand over the security to the county police or state police. It is very confusing)

The Special Department looks huge, but it is always a subordinate agency of the City Police Department. In terms of level, it is actually lower than the local sheriff... Of course, this thing is not calculated in this way. It is said that they are not subordinate to each other, and there is no saying that one is bigger than the other.

But in terms of legal status, the sheriff should be equal to the head of the New York City Police Department...

Although the location of this abandoned factory is just a town, there is still a sheriff.

Rorschach and Night Owl, mainly Rorschach, are not popular. So after the two of them reported their requests for help... naturally they followed the rules. Many people think that people who work in offices in government agencies will come up with conspiracies and tricks to deal with someone. In fact, they don't need to. Conspiracies and tricks are too low-end and easy to make yourself suffer. These people play by the rules, how can you hold a handle on them in this regard?

Many times, they don't need to do anything at all, they just need to follow the rules.

Of course, there are also some rules to follow the rules.

For example, the leader is so busy. As the leader's helper, when you report, you will report things according to the importance of urgency, but you can also do it according to the time of reporting. As a result, your request will be delayed. When the leader finishes the previous things and it comes to your request, everything is too late.

Did others make mistakes? No!

If you follow the rules, you can't even blame him. You say he deliberately delayed?

Haha, what? Only your business is important, and other people's business is not important. You want to save lives, don't other people's lives matter?

So, if the managers of the agency really want to deal with people, they don’t need to resort to conspiracy and trickery at all, it’s too low! Others just need to follow the rules to make you feel like you’re in heaven!

In his previous life, even if Kai was in a violent agency like the criminal police, he had to be polite to the people working in the office of the agency. Don’t think that you are awesome just because you are working in the field... Well, in the police station, the criminal police are indeed at the top of the ecological niche. The only ones who can be compared with the criminal police are the drug enforcement police. There is no way, these people are really face to face with the desperate criminals. Generally speaking, criminal police rarely risk their lives. These two types of police are the most demanding types of police among the public security police. Whether it is early investigation or implementation of arrest, they face many unpredictable factors, which is a great test of intelligence, physical strength and energy. Especially when a murder case occurs, according to the requirement of "murder case must be solved", everyone keeps a close eye on it. In order to solve the case as soon as possible, working overtime and continuous operations are not a problem, which is very hard. But the good thing is that criminal investigation has a high status in the public security system, and it is easy to make achievements and be valued. There are many opportunities for meritorious service, commendation, promotion and promotion. There are many police chiefs and deputy chiefs who are criminal police officers. They can be regarded as core police types with promising positions.

But even so, they dare not offend those who sit in the office. After all, sometimes, it really kills them.

Rorschach is a typical negative example. This guy is taciturn and hates evil. When he speaks... he is not incapable of speaking, but he is good at nagging people! This is why he is never in the office. Damn, even if this grandson speaks normally, he can make people angry to death. The special department is not an administrative department. Everyone carries a gun. If you really push people to the limit, wouldn’t it be the end of him to shoot him?

So Saji always sent him out to run around. After handling the case, he didn’t even let him write written documents... He probably couldn’t write that thing either. Saji always asked people to say good things and asked others to help write it.

Look, the request for help here has not come until now.

But can Saji speak directly?

Of course not.

No matter how big the conflict is, once you get outside, it's all New York Police Department, isn't that embarrassing enough!
