Police Authorities
There are 43 territorial police forces in England and Wales – 39 in England and 4 in Wales. Each force is overseen by an elected Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC), except in London and Greater Manchester, where these responsibilities fall to the directly elected mayor.
Scotland and Northern Ireland each have a single national police service: Police Scotland and the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI).
