	The Police in Scotland.
		While police authorities appoint the chief constables (subject to the approval of the Secretary of State), neither police authorities nor the Secretary of State have power to direct chief constables on enforcement of the law or on the deployment of police officers.
		In carrying out their work, police constables work as members of a disciplined force under the direction of the chief constable, although each is expected to act on his or her own initiative and is alone accountable at law for the exercise of his authority.
		Police forces are generally divided for operational purposes into at least three branches — uniformed, criminal investigation and traffic — and some have, additionally, specialised departments such as under-water units, mounted branch and police dogs.
