Police misconduct

Police misconduct refers to inappropriate conduct and/or illegal actions taken by police officers in connection with their official duties. Types of misconduct include: coerced false confession, intimidation, false arrest, false imprisonment, falsification of evidence, spoliation of evidence, police perjury, witness tampering, police brutality, police corruption, racial profiling, unwarranted surveillance, unwarranted searches, and unwarranted seizure of property.

Police riot

A police riot is a riot carried out by the police; a riot that the police are responsible for instigating, escalating or sustaining as a violent confrontation; an event characterized by widespread police brutality; a mass police action that is violently undertaken against civilians for the purpose of political repression. The term "police riot" was popularized after its use in the Walker Report, which investigated the events surrounding the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago to describe the "unrestrained and indiscriminate" violence that the police "inflicted upon persons who had broken no law, disobeyed no order, made no threat." In this sense a police riot refers to rioting carried out by the police rather than a riot carried out by people who may be motivated to a greater or lesser degree by grievances with the police (see the 1981 Toxteth riots or the 1992 Los Angeles Riots for examples of riots over policing rather than police riots).

Police misconduct allegations during the 2019–20 Hong Kong protests

The conduct of the Hong Kong Police Force is a subject of controversy during the 2019–20 Hong Kong protests. Tactics employed by the force have led to a number of misconduct allegations, and protesters have accused the Hong Kong government of using the police as a method to resolve a "lingering political crisis." Actions taken by the police force and the Hong Kong government have caused mixed reactions inside Hong Kong and in the general international community.

Police diving

Police diving is a branch of professional diving carried out by police services. Police divers are usually sworn police officers, and may either be employed full-time as divers or as general water police officers, or be volunteers who usually serve in other units but are called in if their diving services are required.

Police lineup

A police lineup or identity parade (in British English) is a process by which a crime victim or witness's putative identification of a suspect is confirmed to a level that can count as evidence at trial. The suspect, along with several "fillers" or "foils"—people of similar height, build, and complexion who may be prisoners, actors, police officers, or volunteers—stand side-by-side, both facing and in profile.

Police impersonation

Police impersonation is the act of falsely portraying oneself as a member of the police for the purpose of deception.

There have to date been 17 series following police units from Essex, South Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Cumbria, Lincolnshire, Durham & Cleveland, Cheshire and West Yorkshire.

Police IT

Police IT is the flagship project of the Karnataka State Police aimed at digitizing all the processes involved in policing from basic functions like Crime, Law and Order maintenance and traffic to ancillary functions like police motor transport and training; and connecting all the locations of the Karnataka State Police viz. Police stations, Circle office, sub-divisional police offices, district police offices, campus networks at COP, CID, Chief office and other offices of special units.

Police firearm use by country

The use of firearms by police forces varies widely across the world, in part due to differences in gun use policy, civilian firearm laws, and recording of police activity. Police may require that officers use warning shots before aiming on-target, officers may need to make verbal warnings before using their firearms, and officers may be prohibited from carrying weapons while performing tasks such as highway patrol where gun use is not expected.
