  Metropolitan Police Service - About the Met
The Metropolitan Police Service is famed around the world and has a unique place in the history of policing.
It is by far the largest of the police services that operate in greater London (the others include the City of London Police and the British Transport Police).
Today, the Metropolitan Police Service employs 31,141 officers, 13,661 police staff, 414 traffic wardens and 2,106 Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs), and, since the realignment of police boundaries in April 2000, it covers an area of 620 square miles and a population of 7.2million.

 Metropolitan Police District - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Metropolitan Police District was defined in the schedule of the Metropolitan Police Act 1829 as an approximately circular area within a seven-mile (11-km) radius of Charing Cross, which was divided into four districts and 17 police divisions.
The anomaly of having the Metropolitan Police responsible for areas outside the Greater London boundary continued until the Greater London Authority Act 1999 set up a Police Authority for Greater London (it previously having been under central government control), and consequently redefined the outer boundaries of the MPD to match Greater London.
The Greater London Authority Act 1999 defines the Metropolitan Police District as consisting of "Greater London, excluding the City of London, the Inner Temple and the Middle Temple." The City of London has its own police force, the City of London Police, which also covers the Inner and Middle Temples.

Police are also responsible for reporting minor offences by issuing citations which typically may result in the imposition of fines, particularly for violations of traffic law.
Local policing is usually conducted by the police departments at the county, city, township or village level and may range from one person offices (sometimes still called the town marshal) to the 40,000 men and women of the New York City Police Department.
Police organizations also must sometimes deal with the issue of police corruption which is often abetted by a code of silence that encourages unquestioning loyalty to one's comrades over the cause of justice and treating those who disagree with that stance with contempt like Frank Serpico.
