Saying the UK doesn’t have national law enforcement is incorrect. Here’s why

Some people suggest that the country has no national law enforcement agencies similar to France or the USA, but this is not the case.

As most of us already know, France has two national police forces, and the States have several federalised agencies that enforce the law. But the UK also has many national law enforcement agencies, such as: the National Crime Agency, the Serious Fraud Office, the Civil Nuclear Constabulary, the British Transport Police, the Secret Service, the Ministry of Defence Police, Customs and Immigration Control, the Border Force, and a few others. Therefore, the idea that the Kingdom only has local police is untrue, and even they have full jurisdiction across the entire country, so we could technically count them as national law enforcement in a way. Prison officers also hold many powers of a police constable, according to the House of Lords.
