Hello Alan

Hi Lily Hi

One

So what are we going to talk about today

Well well know how much much

You like a nice good jme drama

Oh Yes

So i thought today

We could talk a little bit about the police in the uk

Oh

That's a great idea

I've already done the same topic with james before americamerica um

So where can we start

I really don't know where to start

Maybe we start with scotland yard oah

And let's start with the beginning

The first centurcontrol police force was actually

Tually ed

Ed

Scotland yarard

It was the metropolyleton police um

I was had this question

And i think many of our listeners had the same question

When you're reading about shirlea comes or any other english crime drama

You will hear 苏格兰厂

苏格兰厂

Scotland yard

Why is it called scotland yard

Even though it's in london

That's because the headquarters when they were founded in in eighty and twenty nine um was very close to the house

A parliament in a place called scotland yard thing

It was call scotland yard because immedievial times that was where ambassadors from scotland used to live

Also it actually was like the old side for the scottish ambassadors back in the day

Yeah

It was like the scottish embassy type thing

Yeh i see another question is you said the first centially controlled police force was wounded in eighteen

Twenty nine

Was that like the one of the oldest in the world

It is pretty much one of the oldest

Yes

There was a type of police force in the past

And they

They oul't very well developed they

It

It was one of the first

That's why in many countries around the world

It's very similar to the uk

Because the uk was some al seeners as a model

嗯

And what is your police force called

就是比如说什么伦敦警察局什么的

How do you call that london police force

We would call well this

That's tually a few police forces

Oh

There's a city

City llondon police force

A city of london 就是金融城

The financial yeah

And there's the metropolitan police

All the met the metro polititan police which is in charge what of the whole greater london area

Pretty much

The whole of great london except for the city london

And also transport and rivvas

Well they have their own secept with police forces

That is so complicated yego a little little it it oknow there's setput

But they do work very closely together

So let's say if i want to report a crime

I go to demat yeah in london

I go to demp

Well h 'll just call nine nine nine

Oh

And then automatically yeah

I see Oh

Nine nine nine

That's what you call for the police yeah

And also fire an ambulance

Oh

All in one number another very interesting thing

I watch a lot of british shows sometimes to hear people say bobby yeah

其实英式俚语里面管警察有时候叫bobby

That's a person's name yep

That's because the metrobotton police was founded by a man called sobert peill

Oh Robert

Bob

Bobies yeah

That's in the victorian age

They used to be called pealas so boby bees for roberts

Peelers for peel

Peel ph

It's a way for them to honor the founder

I guess it was tighleslam

And now let's come to the uniforms

You know i'm a huge fan of uniforms

I was remember

When i was for example in italy

I thought some of their uniforms to look great but not so much in the uk

The police uniforms they're not stysh sh they not really no they

They which

Which me designed as bit of a mixture um

Because what they wanted to do

Was they wanted to make them seem afforchable but also affortative

啊

Approachable means that they look friendly enough

You can just go up and talk to them

And in inquiire

Yeah

So the original uniform was a little bit of a blend

Looking like a gentleman

But also a little a servant

嘿嘿嘿嘿

我脑子里面现在就觉得是想到片警的那个感觉

So they're approachable

嗯

But they also are a lot of the times wearing these very bright collored

I don't know it's almost like there's a conconstruworworking construction

Oh Yeah

That's in there the police

So they need to be vistruction um

So that is to make sure that they stand out

Oh Yeah

All they know me where black

You know they have um bullet proof for step proof fests

Yeah

That's ll listening

Probably think about the helmet commet

Yes

Which fufully they don't wear anymore

Ah Yeah

I don't remember seeing them

No no

They only wear them on special occasions

It's address beautiful

Oh

So now it's more like a ceremonial

Yeah

And they don't really carry guns right the uk police force

No ninety percent of police in the uk don't carry guns

Do they carry anything

I mean they have to catch the criminals right

If they are not armed at all

They would have buttons

But tons is a big stick

Yeah

Everything yeah

But they would also sometimes use stunguns well uh stguns

It's using the shock to negotizor

Yeah

But it's quite controversial

Because the whole idea of the police in the uk

It should be police by concerbecause

Because something quhere quite a lot police by conconconconle ans saying yes

Yeah

Not police by force

Yes Ah

But it's going into the whole idea

Police should be approachable

That they're there to serve the public

I understand they serve the public

But they don't serve the criminals right

Oh No

That's a very interesting idea

I've never heard of this police by consent basically means

You are nice in general

That you don't want to force people

That police by forforces more

I guess more the american style with guns of like freeze was sort

Yeah um

That's not to say that police and uk don't carry guns

Um

But the only places you'll see police carrying guns are like airports or locations

Where there's a risk of tourist attack

Ah i see

But there are different types of police

Right

The normal police they are probably dealing was more

I would say generic every day maybe petty crimes

Yeah Um

But there are different types of police officers right

What about those people who investigate

Let's say murders

You have the cad so

Oh

What id cricriminal investigation department

Criminal investigation departso

There are detectives

Yeah

They are detectives

There's also special branch as well

Which deal with quite sensitive tive casthethere's ts ite sensitito police in the uk

Deare get a little bit complicated yeah

It does sound very complex

But we're not gna get into details of that

No no

But what ght it might be interesting to have a check about about is all the different types of slang around police

Police

And also some of the words that you may here when watching british crime dramas for example the word

Nick nick so for nick yep it's a verb or and now and it's generly used around crimes

So for example your nick means you're arrested

You are arrested

Oi think i've heard of that in some of the crime dramas

But also in some soso p purpoyeah ah also to be down at the nick

Means to be at the police station

But i thought to nick something actually means to steal something yeah

Such a versual al worh yeah

Ah that's if you ever hear that's what it's normally related to crime

You can also say to be in the nick

Which means to be in prison

嘿嘿嘿

I'm not sure

If i can remember all of that earlier on we talked about bobies

Yeah

Do you have any other slang words ds call the police ooh yeah

Well i focus on the polite ones

But we have the old bill bill bill

Yeah

That's just enough way of saying the police okay

H n't a bit old fashionnow

But you do sometimes still hear it um what cops or coppers

I always thought cops is american english

But we do say in the uk as well um copper i'have yeah

That's improably copy is more british rather than cops um

But we still say the expression it's a fair cop

So when you adadititted that you done something wrong

You might say ah it's a fair cop okay

I remember agents ago

I was watching a comedy

That's when i watched it

It's already very very old comedy by roin

Ackinson

Mister bean

Oh

Yeah called the thin blue line

Where i think he it's like a constable

What does that have anything to do

Yeah

Doesn't he was a chief comstable or inspectors

I remember that

But that's from the nineties

Because you'll find it about

It's good show the the in in blue line is the idea

But the police are there to stop society from breaking uppart

So they're the thin blue line of defence blue means the police force

Yeah

Ii see they do where black but the color blue is associate with the police

Um one more question is if you actually do need to approach the police on the street

For example

How do you call them

You don't know their names

You can't just say syantasrushu

You can just say good morning officer

Yeah

You would say i'm officer or comfortable

But in london

Sometimes you just call them

Me Yeah

I'm not ongoing to try that 是

But that's the whole thing

It's about

And they have to be approach hable

And there to help the public

So british people germany would go up and speak to the police

I'm never tried hopefully ly commiceat

No Yeah

That's that most of it is around community support

So the idea of a policemen on beat

Oh Right

We've definitely learned a bit about the police force in the uk

Especially in london

If you have any other questions to ask or anything to add
