	Police box - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A police box is a telephone kiosk or callbox for use by members of the police.
		Police boxes pre-date the era of modern telecommunications; today, every police officer (in technologically developed countries) is likely to carry a two-way radio.
		The typical police box contained a telephone linked directly to the local police station allowing officers "on the beat" to keep in contact with the station, reporting anything unusual, requesting help if necessary or even to detain prisoners until a vehicle could be sent to transport them to the station or to jail.

	TARDIS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Externally, the Doctor's TARDIS resembles the shape of a 1950s British police box (a special phone booth for police communications), and the programme has become so much a part of British popular culture that the shape of the police box is now more immediately associated with the TARDIS than its original real-world function.
		The concept of the police box disguise came from BBC staff writer Anthony Coburn, who rewrote the programme's first episode from a draft by C.
		This was challenged by the Metropolitan Police who felt that they owned the rights to the police box image.

		The original police boxes served as a communications point between police stations and constables on the beat, and could also be used by members of the public to summon emergency assistance.
		The first police boxes in Britain were introduced from America in 1888, although the earliest of the type on which the TARDIS from the television programme Doctor Who is based was installed in Newcastle in the 1920's.
		However, the court ruled that as the police box is nowadays associated by the public more with Dr Who than with the police force, the rights to the design should be with the BBC.

		The institute praises the design history of the police, and says police stations could be "an effective symbol of security and public order", but concludes that many people consider them "intimidating or alienating".
		The study, Re-inventing the Police Station, recommends the police boxes that used to dot the country, the sort of mini-office immortalised as the exterior form of the Tardis.

		The time travelling vessel became the subject of a legal wrangle as the Metropolitan Police fought to gain control of the blue box, which was a familiar sight on the streets of London up until the 1960s.
		It said in 1953 there were 685 blue police telephone boxes in London, and that the boxes had a considerable reputation among the general public.
		Mr Knight said that the police telephone box had been used by other police forces outside London, so was not exclusive to the Metropolitan Police, and at best it would be described by the public as "street furniture".

		Despite these differences, the Police combined biting lyrical imagery with a musical fusion of reggae, punkand pop that resulted in material as mainstream as "Don't Stand So Close To Me" and "King Of Pain" and as wonderfully quirky as "Be My Girl-Sally" and "On Any Other Day".

		For people who don't know what the Police were about and their background: the book makes interesting reading (without it being a long rambling biography).
