THE POLICE IN THE USA

The USA inherited England’s common law and its system of policing. The colonists had the night watch under constables, with all able-bodied men over 16 serving without pay.

There are five main types of police agencies operating in the USA: police agencies of the Federal government, state police forces, sheriffs in counties, the police forces of cities and towns, and the police of villages.

Besides there are such special police forces as parks police, bridge and tunnel administration police forces, and police organizations for special tasks.  There are about 40,000 separate police agencies in the United States of America....

Exercise 15.

Translate into Russian:

                                      Fingerprinting.

     Fingerprinting is the only sure way to confirm the identity of a person who is suspected of crime. When a finger touches the surface of an object, the print of his finger is left on the surface. This is called fingerprint. Every fingerprint is unique. This principle is used by all police forces to identify criminals (or sometimes, dead bodies). So, if a suspect arrested doesn’t confess his guilt it may be proved by comparing his fingerprints with those found at the scene and showing, that they are identical. ..

 

Exercise 16.

Translate into Russian:

I. PHASES OF INVESTIGATION

The objectives of the investigator provide a convenient division of the investigation into three phases: ( 1 ) the criminal is identified; (2) he is traced and located; and (3) the facts proving his guilt are gathered for court presentation. This division is made for convenience of discussion, since the three phases are not necessarily separated in time but are usually fused throughout the investigation. The same evidence, moreover can often be used for all three objectives....
