Template talk:Law enforcement agencies of the United Kingdom

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] English bias?

Not sure if any of the originators of this template are still around. Jurisdicition of the Health and Safety Executive is only England and Wales and Scotland. Responsibility in Northern Ireland is with the Health and Safety Executive for Northern Ireland. This should be made clear but are there similar issues with the other agencies? Would this need a change to a more complicated template? Cutler (talk) 10:40, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Template:UK Police and Template:UK Police1 should change to Law enforcement, and we'll merge this one into them. There's stuff like the Prison Service missing as well. ninety:one 12:21, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

I came up with this, I don't think it's too good:

v • d • e Law enforcement agencies in the United Kingdom England Avon and Somerset · Bedfordshire · Cambridgeshire · Cheshire · City of London · Cleveland · Cumbria · Derbyshire · Devon and Cornwall · Dorset · Durham · Essex · Gloucestershire · Greater Manchester · Hampshire · Health and Safety Executive · Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs · Hertfordshire · Humberside · Kent · Lancashire · Leicestershire · Lincolnshire · Merseyside · Metropolitan · Marine and Fisheries Agency · Norfolk · North Yorkshire · Northamptonshire · Northumbria · Nottinghamshire · South Yorkshire · Staffordshire · Suffolk · Surrey · Sussex · Thames Valley · Warwickshire · West Mercia · West Midlands · West Yorkshire · Wiltshire Scotland Central Scotland · Dumfries and Galloway · Fife · Grampian · Lothian and Borders · Northern · SCDEA · Scottish Fisheries Protection Agency · Scottish Prison Service · Strathclyde · Tayside Wales Dyfed-Powys · Gwent · Health and Safety Executive · Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs · Marine and Fisheries Agency · North Wales · South Wales Northern Ireland Health and Safety Executive for Northern Ireland · Police Service of Northern Ireland Special Police Forces British Transport · Civil Nuclear · Ministry Of Defence · Serious Fraud Office · SOCA · UK Border Agency

how about this instead, also added some otherwise waylaid national police units:

v • d • e Law enforcement agencies of the United Kingdom National Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre · Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs · Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre · National Counter Terrorism Security Office · National Extremism Tactical Co-ordination Unit · National Wildlife Crime Unit · Serious Fraud Office · UK Border Agency England and Wales Health and Safety Executive · Her Majesty's Prison Service · Marine and Fisheries Agency · Serious Organised Crime Agency Scotland Health and Safety Executive · Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency · Scottish Fisheries Protection Agency · Scottish Prison Service Northern Ireland Health and Safety Executive for Northern Ireland

[edit] Police

I'm not keen on the template in its current form - we can't call it "Law Enforcement Agencies" and leave out the police! In any case, at present (as of the current time and date) the version in use shows the NI police, but ignores police in England, Wales, and Scotland.

The current useage in relation to UK articles is for LEA to mean non-police. With regards to PSNI: User_talk:MickMacNee#Template:Law_enforcement_agencies_of_the_United_Kingdom, I don't think it should be there. I think Template:UK Police would be confusing and crowded if we added the LEAs from this template to it.
