There are a number of agencies that participate in law enforcement in the United Kingdom which can be grouped into three general types:

* **Territorial police forces** handle most police work within specific regions. Each force operates under an independent police authority. The framework for these forces is established by different Acts: the Police Act 1996 governs England and Wales; the Police (Scotland) Act 1967 and the Police and Fire Reform (Scotland) Act 2012 apply in Scotland; and the Police (Northern Ireland) Act 2000 is relevant in Northern Ireland. These laws outline various aspects such as the appointment of a chief constable, the jurisdictions of the forces, and their responsibilities.
* **National law enforcement bodies**, including the National Crime Agency and national police forces that have a specific, non-regional jurisdiction, such as the British Transport Police. The Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 refers to these as 'special police forces', not including the NCA which is not a police force.  In addition, there are non-police law enforcement agencies, whose officers are not police officers, but still enforce laws, and other bodies with solely investigatory powers.
* **Miscellaneous police bodies**, mostly having their foundations in older legislation or common law. These are responsible for policing specific local areas or activities, such as ports and parks. Before the passing of recent legislation such as the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005, they were often referred to as 'special police forces'; care must therefore be taken in interpreting historical use of that phrase. These constabularies are not within the scope of the legislation applicable to the previously mentioned organisations but can still be the subject of statutes applicable to, for example, docks, harbours or railways. Until the passing of the Railways and Transport Safety Act 2003, the British Transport Police was such a force.

Most law enforcement in the United Kingdom is carried out by territorial police forces that police the general public and their activities. The other types of agencies are concerned with policing of more specific matters.

Over the centuries there has been a wide variation in the number of police forces in the United Kingdom, with a large number now no longer in existence.

## Territorial police forces
Most policing in the United Kingdom is conducted by the 45 territorial police forces of the 4 nations in one of three legal criminal jurisdictions - England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.  These forces are ultimately responsible for all law and order within their respective police area (a legal term which defines the geographic area of primary responsibility).  This is not the same as legal jurisdiction, see below.  Two nations of the United Kingdom, Scotland and Northern Ireland, have national police forces.  The third legal jurisdiction, made up of the nations of England and Wales is split up into a number of police forces.  The breakdown of all territorial police forces across the United Kingdom by jurisdiction is as follows:

* 43 territorial police forces in England & Wales
* 1 territorial police force in Scotland
* 1 territorial police force in Northern Ireland

### England and Wales
Except in Greater London, each territorial police force covers one or more of the local government areas (counties) established in the 1974 local government reorganisations (although with subsequent modifications), in an area known in statute as a police area. These forces provide most of the policing services to the public of England and Wales. These forces have been known historically as "Home Office police forces" due to the central government department, the Home Office, being responsible for and providing most of the funding these police forces. Despite the implication of the term, all police forces are independent, with operational control resting solely with the chief officer of each force (the chief constable or with regard to the Metropolitan Police and City of London Police forces, their respective Commissioners); each force was overseen by a police authority until these were replaced by police and crime commissioners in 2012.

The Police Act 1996 is the most recent piece of legislation, which outlines the areas of responsibility for the 43 territorial forces of England and Wales (found in Schedule 1 of the Act).

Constable is the lowest rank in the police service, but all officers, whatever their rank, are "constables" in terms of legal powers and jurisdiction. Police officers in territorial police forces in England and Wales derive their jurisdiction from Section 30 of the Police Act 1996. This section outlines that such officers have jurisdiction throughout England and Wales and also the adjacent United Kingdom waters. Special constables, who are part-time, volunteer officers of these forces, used to have a more limited jurisdiction – limited solely to their own force areas and adjacent forces. Since 1 April 2007, however special constables of England and Wales have full police powers throughout those two countries. This means that, in contrast to most countries, all UK volunteer police officers now have exactly the same powers as their full-time colleagues.  There are a number of situations in which the jurisdiction of a constable extends to one of the other countries, and constables of one jurisdiction do have reciprocal powers of arrest in each other's jurisdictions as a matter of course  see the main article for details.

, the police forces in Wales have:
*Police officers: 17,259
*Special constables: 531
*Other staff: 6,168

Community Support Officers, commonly referred to as "Police Community Support Officers", were established by Section 38(2) of the Police Reform Act 2002, which applies only to England and Wales.  There are therefore no Community Support Officers in Scotland.

### Northern Ireland
County and borough based police forces were not formed in Ireland as they were in Great Britain, with instead a single Royal Irish Constabulary covering most of Ireland (the exceptions being the Dublin Metropolitan Police, which was responsible for policing in Dublin, and the Londonderry Borough Police and Belfast Town Police, both replaced by the RIC in the late Victorian period). The Royal Ulster Constabulary was formed in 1922 after the establishment of the Irish Free State, and served until the reforms of the police under the terms established initially by the Good Friday Agreement of 1998 undertaken by the Patten Commission, which led to dissolution of the RUC in 2001. The Police (Northern Ireland) Act 2000 sets out the basis for the organisation and function of the police force in the province. Until 2010, police powers were not transferred to the devolved Northern Ireland Executive, unlike Scotland, instead remaining with the Northern Ireland Office. However, in January 2010 agreement was reached between the two largest parties in the Assembly, the DUP and Sinn Féin, over a course that would see them assume responsibility for policing and justice from April.

As of April 2007 police numbers in Northern Ireland were:
*Police officers: 7,216
*Full-time reserve police officers: 335
*Part-time police officers: 684
*Other staff: 2,265

Police in Northern Ireland do not employ Police Community Support Officers

### National Collaborative Units 
#### Bodies hosted by the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) 
*National Wildlife Crime Unit – A police unit run by the NPCC that gathers intelligence on wildlife crime and provides analytical and investigative support to law enforcement agencies across the United Kingdom.
*National Counter Terrorism Security Office – A police unit run by the NPCC, which advises the British government on its counter terrorism strategy.
*National Vehicle Crime Intelligence Service – A police unit run by the NPCC, tasked with combating organised vehicle crime and the use of vehicles in crime.

#### Bodies hosted by territorial police forces 
*National Domestic Extremism and Disorder Intelligence Unit – A police unit that is part of the Metropolitan Police Service Specialist Operations Directorate, tasked with coordinating police response to domestic extremism across the United Kingdom.
*Protection Command – A police unit that is part of the Metropolitan Police Service Specialist Operations Directorate, responsible for providing protective security to the government/diplomatic community and the Royal Family within the United Kingdom.
*National Fraud Intelligence Bureau – A police unit hosted by the City of London Police, tasked with combating economic crime throughout the United Kingdom.
*National Ballistics Intelligence Service (Great Britain) – A police unit hosted by West Midlands Police, tasked with gathering and disseminating fast time intelligence on the criminal use of firearms across Great Britain.
*National Police Air Service (England and Wales) – A police aviation service hosted by West Yorkshire Police, that provides centralised air support to all police forces in England and Wales.

## Special police forces
The following three government agencies are defined in legislation as "special police forces". As these forces are responsible to specific areas of infrastructure, they do not answer to the Home Office, but instead to the government department responsible for the area they police. All three forces do voluntarily submit themselves to HMIC inspection:
*Ministry of Defence Police – A police force tasked with providing armed security, uniformed policing, and investigative services to Ministry of Defence installations throughout the United Kingdom.
*Civil Nuclear Constabulary – A police force responsible for providing law enforcement and security at or within 5&nbsp;km of any relevant nuclear site and for nuclear materials in transit within the United Kingdom.
*British Transport Police (Great Britain) – A police force responsible for providing law enforcement at certain railways and light-rail systems in Great Britain. GLAA officers have powers under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 akin to those of in police constables in relation to their narrow remit.
*His Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) – employs customs officers with law enforcement powers to carry out uniformed (e.g. combatting misuse of red diesel) and investigative work (in the Criminal Investigation Branch). They exercise the powers granted under the Customs Management Acts and the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984, including arrest, search and detention of people and goods.
*Border Force (BF) – a law enforcement command within the Home Office, responsible for frontline border control operations at air, sea and rail ports. Border Force officers are dual-warranted as immigration and customs officers. They have powers of arrest and detention under the Immigration Act 1971 and Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Act 2009. Designated immigration officers have additional powers from the UK Borders Act 2007, allowing them to arrest a person suspected of non-border offences and detain for a certain period until a police constable can take custody of the person.
*Immigration Enforcement (IE) – a law enforcement command within the Home Office, responsible for preventing abuse, tracking immigration offenders and increasing compliance with immigration law across the UK.
*Environment Agency, in England, and Natural Resources Wales, in Wales, Fisheries Enforcement Officers have the powers of a constable in relation to the Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries Act 1975. Officers in Scotland are appointed by the District Salmon Fishery Boards, to enforce the Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 2003. FEOs protect fish and combat related crime (e.g. poaching).
*His Majesty's Prison Service (HMPS) is responsible for managing most prisons in England and Wales. Its Prison Officers, whilst acting as such, have *"all the powers, authority, protection and privileges of a constable"*. Prisons in Northern Ireland and Scotland are managed by the Northern Ireland Prison Service and Scottish Prison Service, respectively.

### Bodies with limited executive powers
*Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (Great Britain)
*Driver and Vehicle Agency (Northern Ireland)
*The Independent Office for Police Conduct (England and Wales) investigates complaints against police officers and staff of the police forces in England and Wales, and staff of HM Revenue and Customs, the National Crime Agency in England and Wales, the Border Force and officers from the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority. Certain investigators of the IOPC, for the purposes of the carrying out of an investigation and all purposes connected with it, have all the powers and privileges of constables throughout England and Wales and the territorial waters.

### Bodies with solely investigatory powers
The use of investigatory powers is controlled by the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000. Up to 792 public authorities have powers that are restricted by RIPA.
*Office for Security and Counter-Terrorism
*Security Service
*Serious Fraud Office (England, Wales and Northern Ireland)

## Miscellaneous police forces
These police forces generally come under the control of a local authority, public trusts or even private companies; examples include some ports police and the Mersey Tunnels Police. They could have been established by individual acts of Parliament or under common law powers. Jurisdiction is generally limited to the relevant area of private property alone and in some cases (e.g. docks and harbours) the surrounding area. This, together with the small size of the police forces, means they are often reliant on the territorial force for the area under whose jurisdiction they fall to assist with any serious matter. The statutory responsibility for law and order sits with the territorial police forces even if there is a specialist police force in the locality. These police forces do not have independent police authorities and their founding statutes (if any) do not generally prescribe their structure and formation.

### Ports police
There are two types of port police in the United Kingdom — most are sworn in under the 1847 act, but a few have acts specific to their port.

;Ports police operating under the Harbours, Docks, and Piers Clauses Act 1847
For every port/harbour, an individual act of Parliament (or, more recently, a Harbour (Revision) Order) can incorporate parts of the Harbours, Docks, and Piers Clauses Act 1847 (HDPCA) and apply them to that specific port/harbour. Officers of port police forces are sworn in as "special constables" under section 79 of the 1847 Act, as incorporated by the individual local Act. As a result, officers have the full powers of a constable on any land owned by the harbour, dock, or port and at any place within one mile of any owned land.

The Marine Navigation Act 2013 has potentially enabled ports constables in England & Wales to act as constables beyond this one mile limit, in relation to policing purposes connected with the port only, in a police area where consent has been obtained from the relevant chief constable.  This act does not however give general police powers to ports constables beyond their core jurisdiction as set out in the 1847 act, merely in relation to policing purposes connected to the port as set out in the Act.  As of 2014, three ports police forces (Dover, Teesport and Bristol) have sought and received consent from the local chief constable, with a fourth (Liverpool) in the process of applying for it.  This has enabled these three ports forces to act as constables, in relation to policing purposes connected to the port, throughout the police area in which they are geographically located.  There are 224 constables sworn in under the 1847 act. Serious or major incidents or crime generally become the responsibility of the local territorial police force.

* Belfast Harbour Police — Belfast Harbour, Belfast: HDPCA incorporated by section 5 of the Belfast Harbour Act 1847.
* Port of Bristol Police — Port of Bristol, which includes Avonmouth Docks and Royal Portbury Dock
* Port of Felixstowe Police — Port of Felixstowe, Suffolk: HDPCA incorporated by section 3(1)(e) of the Felixstowe Dock and Railway Act 1956.
*Port of Portland Police — Portland Harbour, Isle of Portland: HDPCA incorporated by section 3 of the Portland Harbour Revision Order 1997.
* Falmouth Docks Police — Falmouth Docks, Falmouth, Cornwall: HDPCA incorporated by section 3 of the Falmouth Docks Act 1959 (7 & 8 Eliz. 2. c. xl).
* Port of Dover Police — Port of Dover, Dover: HDPCA incorporated by section 3 of the Dover Harbour Consolidation Act 1954, and incorporation amended by part 4 of the Dover Harbour Revision Order 2006. Given the large amount of property owned by the port, their jurisdiction effectively extends to all of Dover and now throughout Kent (in relation to port policing matters only) in order to be able to take arrested persons to custody suites.

;Other ports police
* Port of Liverpool Police — Port of Liverpool, Liverpool: current authority derives from article 3 of the Mersey Docks and Harbour (Police) Order 1975. Port of Liverpool police officers are Crown police officers and not special constables.
* Port of Tilbury Police (formerly the Port of London Authority Police) — Port of Tilbury, Essex: current authority derives from section 154 of the Port of London Act 1968
* Tees and Hartlepool Port Authority Harbour Police — Tees and Hartlepool: current authority derives from section 103 of the Tees and Hartlepool Port Authority Act 1966
* A large, new port on the Thames Estuary (and within the Port of London area) called "London Gateway", the owners have the authority to create their own police force for the port. The legislation also incorporates section 79 of the 1847 act.

### Parks police
#### Parks not controlled by local authorities
These small constabularies are responsible for policing specific land and parks. Officers of these forces have the powers of a constable within their limited jurisdiction. They are not *constables* as dealt with in the general Police Acts.
* Epping Forest Keepers
*:Current powers derive from regulations made under Epping Forest Act 1878
* Kew Constabulary (formerly Royal Botanic Gardens Constabulary)
*:Constables of this force have full police powers whilst on land belonging to the Royal Botanical Gardens as per the Parks Regulation Act 1872 as amended by section 3 (a) of the Parks Regulation (Amendment) Act 1974.

The Parks Regulation Act 1872 provides for the attestation of *parks constables*.

#### Parks controlled by local authorities
Over history, a number of local authorities outside London have maintained their own parks police forces, the most notable being Liverpool (Liverpool Parks Police) and Birmingham (Birmingham Parks Police). No local authority parks police forces currently exist outside London, although the legal powers for them to do so (granted by various local Acts of Parliament) survive in a limited number of cases.

There are some remnant organisations of the old Parks Constabularies/Parks Police, such as the Birmingham Parks Ranger Patrol.

In London, these constabularies are responsible for enforcing byelaws within the parks and open spaces of their respective local authorities. Members of the constabularies are sworn as constables under article 18 of the Greater London Parks and Open Spaces Order 1967. Members of the constabularies are constables only in relation to the enforcement of the parks byelaws (which, by definition, apply only in the parks).

*Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea Parks Police
* Hampstead Heath Constabulary (HHC), also appointed under section 16 of the Corporation of London (Open Spaces) Act 1878 with the full powers and privileges of police constables within their limited jurisdiction.
* Havering Parks Constabulary
* Wandsworth Parks and Events Police

Some of these constables have (or have had) a shared role as security staff for their own local authority's buildings and housing estates with appropriate changes of badges and/or uniform being made when changing to/from park duties.

### Cathedral constables
Cathedrals that have their own Constabularies consisting of attested constables that keep the peace at each Cathedral.
* York Minster Police
* Chester Cathedral Constables
* Canterbury Cathedral Close Constables
* Liverpool Cathedral Constables

### Market police
Traditionally, markets would employ constables to look after markets. Most no longer exist, or exist in a form without attested constables (see below).

* The City of London market constabularies are three small constabularies responsible for security at Billingsgate, New Spitalfields and Smithfield markets run by the City of London Corporation. However, unlike most other miscellaneous police organisations, the members are no longer attested as constables.

### Other
* Belfast International Airport Constabulary – attested under article 19(3) of the Airports (Northern Ireland) Order 1994 as constables for the airport, which employs them.
* Cambridge University Constabulary – attested under the Universities Act 1825 as constables within the university precincts and up to four miles from them.
* Mersey Tunnels Police – attested under section 105 of the County of Merseyside Act 1980 (c. x) as constables within a jurisdiction of the tunnels and all approach roads.

## Military and service police
### Service (Military) Police
Each branch of the military has its own *service police*, though their powers are identical and reciprocal across all three services.  The service police is made up of the:
*Royal Navy Police
*Royal Marines Police
*Royal Military Police
*Royal Air Force Police
In the UK, the service police exercise jurisdiction over those serving in the military in any capacity and those civilians subject to service discipline as defined by the Armed Forces Act 2006.  They are not 'constables' and do not have any policing powers in relation to the general public in normal circumstances.  In British Forces Germany, under the Status Of Forces Act, military police have jurisdiction over British Forces personnel, their families, MOD contractors, and NAAFI staff.

Service Police are Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE) trained and all investigations are PACE compliant.  They make regular use of civilian police facilities often conducting joint investigations where necessary. The Service Police are able to investigate all crime within their jurisdiction, up to and including Murder, however within the UK, offences of murder and sudden deaths are passed to the local police force as per national jurisdiction agreements.

Whilst operating in conflict zones, the military police will conduct the full range of policing including murder investigations as evidenced by the Sgt Blackman investigation.

### Defence security organisations
Other agencies exist to provide security to MOD and military bases in the UK and abroad.
* Northern Ireland Security Guard Service (NISGS) – Civilian Security Officers belonging to the Northern Ireland Security Guard Service are attested as Special Constables. They are armed, as is customary in Northern Ireland for security forces.
* Germany Guard Service (GGS) - MOD uniformed civilian security officers providing armed security and access control to British Forces Germany units
* Military Provost Guard Service (MPGS) - part of the Army Adjutant General's Corps, tasked with armed security at military establishments in mainland UK.
* Ministry of Defence Guard Service (MGS) - civilian unarmed security officers providing security and access control at MOD and some military establishments.

## Bodies with limited enforcement powers
There are also non-police (of any type) organisations who have been given certain powers to enforce rules, regulations and laws.

#Under the **community safety accreditation scheme (CSAS)** and the similar **railway safety accreditation scheme (RSAS)**, police forces in England and Wales have the power to grant limited powers to official persons (such as council wardens and private security staff), for example, the power to confiscate alcohol from under 18s.
#Under the national railway byelaws, any 'authorised person' may ensure all persons on the railway are abiding by the byelaws. Generally, railway train operating companies (TOCs) leave this to dedicated enforcement officers. Sometimes these officers will have powers under the Railway safety accreditation scheme and as they are working for the railway, they also have powers under the railway byelaws.

Under the community safety accreditation scheme (CSAS), there are many different people involved, such as council staff, park rangers or private security staff that work for councils and local authorities and many different titles are used:

;Community based

;Railway based
*(Officers with powers under both national byelaws and RSAS)*

*Protection officer
*Rail neighbourhood officer

## Crown Dependencies
The **Crown Dependencies** are three offshore island territories that are self-governing possessions of the British Crown. Although not sovereign British territory, their administration is similar to the British Overseas Territories.

### Isle of Man
* The Isle of Man Constabulary () is the police service of the Isle of Man.
* The Isle of Man Prison and Probation Service runs the Isle of Man Prison, the only prison on the island.
* Isle of Man Customs and Excise Division is tasked with customs duties on the island.

;Defunct
* The Isle of Man Airport Police policed the main Isle of Man Airport  (in Ronaldsway), with officers who were "warranted constables" under the Isle of Man Airports and Civil Aviation Act. Disbanded September 2019.

### Bailiwick of Jersey
* The States of Jersey Police () is the police service of Jersey. It was established in its current form by the Police Force (Jersey) Law, 1974 and consists of around 240 officers.

* States of Jersey Customs and Immigration Service
* Honorary Police – There is an Honorary Police (French: ) force in each parish in Jersey. Honorary Police officers have, for centuries, been elected by parishioners to assist the Connétable of the Parish to maintain law and order, and to this day the only person who may charge a person with an offence is the Centenier of the parish in which the offence allegedly took place. Officers are elected as Centeniers, Vingteniers or Constable's Officers, each with various duties and responsibilities.
* Jersey Prison Service, responsible for running the HM Prison La Moye.

### Bailiwick of Guernsey
* The States of Guernsey Police Service () is the local police force for the Crown dependency of Guernsey. In addition to providing police for the island of Guernsey itself, the Guernsey Police also provides detachments for the islands of Alderney, Herm and Sark.
* Guernsey Border Agency, responsible with policing cross border and financial crime, customs and immigration.
* Guernsey Prison Service, responsible for running HMP Guernsey, the main prison on the island.

## Overseas Territories
, ]]
The British Overseas Territories (BOTs) are British sovereign territory, mostly islands, within most of which most competencies (aspects of governance) are delegated to local administrations, but for which the government of the United Kingdom is ultimately responsible and retains responsibility for serious matters, such as defence and security, with police forces directly under the control of the governor.

Consequently, law enforcement in these territories closely mirrors the UK, with some influence from other nations. Some of these agencies are very old and were set up centuries ago.

### Civil police
Almost all BOTs have a civil police force. Some forces may serve more than one island or territory. See below for details.

## Overseas law enforcement in the UK
, Hendon, London]]
There are certain instances where police forces of other nations operate in a limited degree in the United Kingdom:
* – Under an agreement between the British Government and the Irish Government and under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, the Garda Síochána and the Radiological Protection Institute of Ireland are allowed to inspect the Sellafield nuclear facility in Cumbria.
* – As part of the Channel Tunnel agreement between the British and French governments, the Police aux Frontières maintains a presence at St. Pancras International, Ebbsfleet International and Ashford International railway stations and on Eurostar trains. The British Transport Police have a reciprocal arrangement at the Gare du Nord in Paris.  The Police aux Frontieres also maintain a presence at passport control at the Eurotunnel terminal in Folkestone and at Dover port, whilst Kent Police maintains a presence at Coquelles on the French side of the tunnel. Similar arrangements allow the Border Force to operate juxtaposed controls in France and Belgium.
*Military police of visiting forces while present within the terms of the Visiting Forces Act 1952.
*Chinese service stations in Croydon, Hendon and Glasgow are not legally recognised or permitted by the UK Government to undertake any form of Law Enforcement activities.
