Best police or equivalent in the world?

Postby British Socialist Republics » Thu Jun 08, 2023 6:08 am

What do you think is the best police force (or communist equivalent)?
What measure do you use?
I use four:
1. Effectiveness.
2. Relative absence of random brutality.
3. Relative absence, and lack of tolerance, of unjust discrimination.
4. Lack of tolerance of sexual misconduct.

I’d argue that the Northumbria Police is the best in the world and has been since 2018.

I don’t know enough about late Lenin era militsiya to comment but Stalin-era militisiya discriminated against Chechens and in the 1980s there was the random brutality of robbery rings formed by police officers.

The Metropolitan Police in London is not the best, in Britain or the world, by any stretch of the imagination.

And the Swedish police hounded Julian Assange for years before prosecutors decided there was not enough evidence.(https://amp.theguardian.com/media/2019/ ... estigation)

I don’t know much about smaller American police forces but I’ve seen bad stuff about all the most famous ones.

Irony is hard to detect with you. Presumably you think things are worse but if no one paid their taxes, how would give out free (clean) crack pipes?
I personally think the worst thing ever is probably child sex trafficking.
In any case by “police or equivalent” I didn’t mean like IRS CI or DEA who only enforce a specific area of the criminal law.
I meant generalist institutions like what is normally understood by police or militisiya. Gendarmeries may or may not fit the description depending on country.

Without taxes, there is lawlessness.

Ok, then I would have to go with Guatemala.

Florence, South Carolina.

I was going 79 in a 65 zone and the cop gave me a written warning. My favorites.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

Oh ok. Well If it was empty that seems fair.
The warning was written so it’s not like you’d be emboldened speed in a case where it as actually dangerous in the town.
Seems the exact right response.
Do you know anything about their treatment of black people and women?

best standard for a police:
1. controls it's emotions and biological instincst.
2. have middle police brutality, you can't be giving :hug: but you also can't be shoting everyone in the street.
3. has eyes almost in the night like 1984, but this only applies for the estimated "criminal hours" for say something.
4. aren't corrupt.

I had no interaction with that.

I do deal with NYPD and they are uneven. So I wouldn't say they are the best.

Oh, I fully agree. The Guatemalan government as a whole is quite terrible at protecting and/or serving the people, to put it mildly.

Yeah. One in the Carolinas probably is unlikely to be less racist to black people than the NYPD, unless it’s a very small town that’s either almost entirely black (including the police) or almost entirely white-middle class (with the offenders mostly being white teenagers and/or poor whites).
Most police forces have more issues with racism and sexism than the Northumbria Police and almost all are more classist, in addition the Soviet militsiya in the ‘80s had more problems with random brutality.
That’s why I’d argue that Northumbria Police is the best.

1. Most Americans trained in professional violence do just that.
2. In my experience, hugs are sometimes welcome, despite not being offered, or just offer a hand, if in doubt.
Many departments have some tight rules about physical contact in non-call and post response conditions.
Unions and insurance companies are always trying to preemptively cover theirs and the departments ass by shoehorning in another standard and practice that further crinkles the hell out of an already dysfunctional training program.
If this concerns you, please have a word with any progressive associates you have in the public service union and insurance combines that define how American institutions operate.
3. I can dig it.
4. Tough one. Everybody is.
Especially the ones demanding that someone not be.
However, if they do happen to represent the standard that is least compromised, then good on them, and by all means follow their example.

The answer depends on whether whoever you ask even thinks there should be police still alive or not.

Definitely not the American police: inconsistently and unequally funded/trained, militarized, overly belligerent, too quick to start a shootout, racially biased in large regions of the country, prejudiced based on class and appearance, and ineffectiveness in dealing with little things like drug trafficking, domestic terrorism, and human smuggling. Oh, and the past administrations haven't been exactly excellent in helping with these issues.

Well, the Italian national police forces, that is Polizia di Stato, Carabinieri (a gendarmerie force), and Guardia di Finanza (an army corps dedicated to fighting contraband, tax evasion and finance frauds), although NOT spotless, rank next to naught as per police killings, police brutality is present but fought both by the judiciary and the forces themselves, and they do manage to catch serious criminals like mafia bosses who were hiding with the complicity of whole towns. Plus, the dedicated special operation teams (NOCS for the PS, GIS for the Carabinieri) are considered among the best elite units worldwide.
