UK to Establish National Police Service Modeled on 'FBI'

The UK government announced on Saturday the establishment of a new National Police Service (NPS), which will function as a 'British FBI'. The NPS will be responsible for combating terrorism, organized crime, and other serious criminal activities at the national level. According to the Home Secretary, the creation of the NPS represents the biggest overhaul of policing in Britain since 1829. The new service will allow local police forces to focus more on tackling crime in their communities, such as theft and drug trafficking. The head of the NPS will be the most senior police officer in the country, marking a significant change in the organizational structure of British policing.
