“…These are officers, candidates, and other employees [30]. Although such a division of members of the municipal police is not used in Slovakia, in other countries, such a division is common practice [31][32][33][34]. In Poland, for example, members of the municipal police can be divided into three groups according to the tasks they perform: prevention, performance, and logistics [35].…”

The municipal police agencies increase the safety of a municipality’s citizens and thus increase their quality of life. When performing interventions, municipal police officers may endanger their safety and health. This paper deals with the analysis of the riskiness of municipal police officers working in the Slovak Republic and the Czech Republic from 2004 to 2019 and the assessment of their occupational safety. The risk analysis was carried out on the basis of a risk matrix and calculations of the probability of attack and injury to municipal police officers. Using the Pearson correlation coefficient, the dependence between the selected variables was investigated. The reliability of this dependence was examined by the determination coefficient. The main result of the paper is the determination of the riskiness category of municipal police officer work based on the assessment of the occupational health protection of officers through statistical indicators of their activities and risk matrix. The results will serve as part of the explanatory memorandum for the proposal of legislative changes in order to increase the occupational health protection of municipal police officers.

“…He reported back on special powers granted to the police in these cities, as well as in Salford and Bristol, yet the committee decided to trust the matter to the his discretion . These examples substantiate David Barrie's argument that British boroughs were more likely to look to each other for guidance on police administration than to seek answers from London . In Leeds, investigations usually centred on what it perceived as its natural peers – such leading municipalities as Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham.…”

Local initiative, central oversight, provincial perspective: governing police forces in nineteenth-century Leeds

This article examines police administration as a branch of urban government, based on a casestudy of Leeds between 1815 and 1900. Making extensive use of local government and police records, it takes a longer-term view of 'reform' than most existing studies, and privileges the more routine aspects of everyday governance. It thus provides an original exploration of centrallocal government relations, as well as conflict and negotiation between distinct bodies of selfgovernment within the locality. Previous studies have rightly emphasised that urban police governance was primarily a local responsibility, yet this article also stresses the growing influence of central state oversight and an extra-local, provincial perspective, both of which modified the grip of localism on nineteenth-century government. University of LeedsThe governance of nineteenth-century police forces has long attracted scholarly attention.Many early accounts -habitually referred to as 'Whiggish' histories -tended to portray the provincial forces as ineffectual; lacking sufficient oversight from Whitehall, their potential was dashed under the more-or-less incompetent and corrupt leadership of unaccountable local magistrates and penny-pinching town councillors.2 By contrast, subsequent police historians have offered a more nuanced picture, by demonstrating that local authorities were often instrumental in pioneering new forms of police organisation;rather than opposed to police reform per se, it is now recognised that local governors were anxious primarily to retain control over local forces (and the local resources they consumed). Furthermore, the reputation of the provincial police has been somewhat rehabilitated by these sympathetic scholars; provincial forces were often adequate responses to local problems, rather than pale imitations of the centrally-directed

As with other pillars of the Scottish criminal justice system, the distinctiveness of the Scottish police model from its English counterpart has been widely acknowledged. 1 Its historical development, institutional structure, and level of community support have been portrayed as unique in the United Kingdom. 2 Although rarely heralded as a symbol of national identity in the same way as the Church of Scotland or the legal system, 3 the
