The managerialism of policing in England and Wales is examined through the introduction of the PCC, and their responsibilities and powers for developing future strategies are assessed. The potential influence of the PCC on the role of the chief constable and their relationship is considered. This article will also reflect on the opportunities and challenges provided by the PCC and particularly the prospects of enhanced public accountability of policing as a result.

This early policing system didn’t have nearly as many duties and responsibilities as our current police forces do in America.

This essay will describe the mechanisms by which the British Police are held to account, and will touch upon the paradox of police governance, the balance of unwanted coercion of police, financial stewardship and police legitimacy. This essay will also divulge into a discussion on the topic; is policing political?

February 2018, I participated in the ‘Walk in Their Shoes Program’ and completed a watch-house shift at the Moonee Ponds Police Station. I reported to Acting Sergeant Jessica GRAHAM who was my supervisor for the shift and worked alongside Senior Constable Michael BECKER. These members provided me with insight and information on what a typical watch-house shift would entail.

law enforcement was established. It was modeled after the British police structure, which incorporated the watch, constables, and sheriffs in a community-based police organization. While colonists started settling into the New World, local ordinances had allowed for constables to be appointed.
