Oh This video is spot. Yeah, it's not smells it Genevieve invasion plan for later this week and Now let's move on to the main part of our video Whatever we might think about the police one thing that's certain is that we are fascinated by them as early as the 50s The police crime drama started filling our TV screens and long but I've never been fascinated for that Arthur Conan Doyle and Edgar Allen Poe planted the seeds for the genre of detective fiction the good cop the bad cop or even the rebel with a cause cop kind of shows in The 70s have evolved into more realistic series such as the wire which give us a more nuanced version of police work And those that do it in real life dash cam footage from police vehicles has also become a staple in the online content We consume today. We are going to concentrate on real-life cops and perhaps the two most famous Sometimes infamous police forces in the world in this episode of the infographic show American cops versus British cops.

I want to teach people that liberty does not consist in having your house robbed by organized gangs of thieves and in leaving the Principal streets of London in the nightly possession of drunken women and vagabonds. Why were they nicknamed hobbies? Well after their founder Robert as you know the USA was noted for its Wild West outlaws One of those was Billy the Kid who was shot by sheriff Pat Garrett in 1881 like Britain America had ways to control crime But for a long time there was no formal police force and so the job of keeping folks in line often went to private Contractors such as the Pinkerton National Detective Agency systems including night watchmen and even what some called goons for hire weren't workable as the USA grew In population it's thought that the first American formal police force was created in Boston in 1838 New York City followed in 1845 and by the 1880s just about all American cities had an organized police force now Let me know something about the history of these two countries police forces Let's look at the present day the number of police officers in just England and Wales has decreased Significantly in the last decade which has become a major political issue in the UK the number in 2016 of officers in the force was 124,066 down from 143,769 seven years before that the number of full-time officers working in Scotland in 2016 was 17,242 and the number in Northern Ireland was 6,773 that's a total of 148,081 police officers working all over the United Kingdom the population of the UK is 65.64 million so roughly there is one police officer for every 448 people not enough and the public are saying or maybe especially as the crime rate rise in the UK is rising faster than it Has in a decade this includes a rise in violent crimes and homicide over the pond in the USA crime rates are much higher And as some police departments are looking more like military units the role of police in society has met with some controversy Finding the actual number of sworn police officers working in the USA in 2016 Easy this is because figures given by the US Bureau of Justice statistics haven't been updated in a few years the total number of police agencies in The US is around 18,000 but that includes all branches of police if we take just local police departments that number is more like 15,500 according to Politifact the old data that is often cited said that in 2008 there were 765,000 officers that had the power to make an arrest the US Department of Justice gives the number of 750,340 for 2012 according to the National Law and Law officers Memorial Fund that number has shot up And is presently about 900,000 US population is 323.1 million so that means that roughly there is one cop for every 359 people one of the major differences is that in the USA police carry guns as do 36% of American households according to the Washington Post it's reported that in 2016 135 police officers died in the line of duty with around half of those that died being fatally shot the Guardian reports that the Number of officers killed in the line of duty in the UK is a total of 11 since 2010 although many officers are assaulted in the UK in 2015 it was reported that 23,000 assaults occurred against officers in just England and Wales in 2017 the Police Federation of England and Wales reported this figure to be not even close to the real number It said there were 2.4 million assaults in 2016. The officer was attacked every 13 seconds An officer was attacked every 13 seconds involved attacks with deadly weapons The report said the average police officer is assaulted 19 times a year on the other hand in the USA in 2016 police officers killed a total of 1093 people according to inquest.org in the UK in 2016 a total of five people were shot and killed by police the total number of people Shot and killed in the UK since 1990 is 67 We should add here that regular cops in the UK don't carry guns But armed police can be called when it's thought guns are needed police and northern Ireland different routinely carrying firearms according to the newspaper The Mirror in 2016 there were one million eight hundred sixty three thousand five hundred twenty four legally owned guns in Wales and England Most of which were shotgun Okay, most of which are shotguns, but that's still a crazy now. I didn't even think that was a lot I didn't even think that was it was that much. It's thought there are another 277,000 guns in Scotland and a further 150,000 legally owned guns in Northern Ireland The same newspaper said there were another two million illegally owned guns on the UK streets, which has raised the question Wow, so four million guns in the UK streets Cut If the UK police should be given firearm the murder rate per capita in the US is still 30 times higher than in the UK Which might not be surprising considering there are more guns than people in the country according to the Washington Post as for assaults on Officers there were 51,548 assaults against US police officers in 2015 with a total of 14,453 injuries sustained with this in mind How does life on the job compare between the two forces and how do you even get a job as a police officer in the UK? You can join when you are 18 there are no restrictions on height But the force does ask you to be in good enough physical and mental shape to undertake police duties. No for how is mental? shape determined That's what I just said. How's mental health determined? Small qualifications are required, but you will need to pass some tests to get in pass them and you are in just as long as you're having to go to college in the past It's similar in the US although the police force does usually ask for a high school diploma and that you were either 18 or 21 depending on the department. I think you need a two year Two-year criminal justice degree or two years in college now I think I have to train at a police academy and have either a clean criminal record or have only committed minor offenses There is no minimum or maximum height or weight limit, but in the academy You'll have to pass certain physical. So I'd be fella Scott's agility tests Nowhere does it state you have to enjoy eating donuts wages vary but in England, Wales and Northern Ireland You can expect to start your career as a police constable on anything from 25,000 us dollars to 30,000 dollars If you work hard UK career websites say that within about seven years that wage can be 48,872 us dollars You should work a 40 hour week although police work can often mean overtime and also emergency callouts You'll get 23 days annual leave and also full sick pay the pension varies depending on time work But the average police pension in the UK is thought to be around 20,465 dollars a year and the normal retirement age is 60 In the US salaries differ from state to state But a rookie cop working in the NYPD can expect to earn 46,288 dollars per year after five and a half years This could rise to 90,829 if you have done well other states have average wages closer to 30,000 And others 70,000 according to career website combining videos to know what to start with But after five years it will increase to 27 days You'll also receive unlimited fully paid sick days medical benefits dental benefits and optional retirement after 22 years on the force Like the UK you will work around 40 hours a week in shifts But that might change with overtime how much pension you receive can be affected by multiple factors But various websites put the average police pension anywhere from 58 to 62 thousand dollars with money in mind will end the show there Where would you rather be a cop the UK or the Let's watch this one as well Okay, so from the top bottom we have our PR radio What So this is how does UK police equipment compared to us cops as well It's got a 30 second buffer so that when we do activated it pre-repaules 30 seconds So it gives us some sort of time. So if you miss anything, we don't press in time It pre-repaules 30 seconds And the format is quite useful. Um, I'm carrying a taser, which is um, we're at 400 officers currently in Canada Yeah So that's that's the taser itself. It's an x2. It's got two two shots Um, take a little seat and that's recently coming in past the Parva, which is a pepper spray Um, which is all officers carry um, the ash button Bridget handcuffs and then These are fast straps. So if someone's being particularly unmanageable and these don't post rap man I mean, I guess there's less crime in the UK, but it looks like the cops are there are just like If something goes left and they're not prepared they're they're in for a long night So the most noticeable thing obviously he's going to have is his firearm his sidearm It is your Glock nine millimeter semi automatic handgun In addition to that he'll have his impact weapon his baton latex gloves combat tourniquet to be able to use on civilians Or fellow officers or art himself for that matter. He carries a leatherman multi tool handcuffs spare magazines for his Sidearm his taser his radio and an individual first aid kit Which is again another gunshot wound and severe bleeding prevention kit sergeant So they carry all of that You know what I How heavy is the kit you're carrying and they carry all of that that Chicago cops don't carry all of that Where is this city of where does it sometimes get a little cumbersome? It's about 30 pounds total city. Oh, it does get cumbersome when you first put it on I had to get used to these uh extra Couches here, but after a while your body adapts to the extra bulk and you don't feel Now you're a fit bloat You obviously work out, but I can't help but notice there's a bulge on your chest as well Unless that's muscle. That's something. What have you got there? I have a secondary firearm here So our kit weighs around seven kilograms I'm wearing the the stab vest and the kit belt There's also an option option load vest as well, which some people prefer to wear That obviously distributes the the kit we have more on the body whereas my kit is known to treat on the belt itself It depends on personal preference on whether that's What you wear, but that's obviously up to the individual. I don't mean to interrupt, but is that a her pee on his lip? Like it's been bothering me this entire time that I've been watching and I haven't said anything But now it's just getting out of hand Is that what I'm seeing could you imagine going on patrol either without your firearm or your taser? No, why not? Uh, the job we do is extremely dangerous and unpredictable to go out to new york is Insane to me in the uk officers don't have anything like that. The best they have is a pepper spray Would you be prepared to police the streets of london like that? What would you say to those guys and women who do it in the whole of england actually? I give them a lot of credit for doing what they do without Honestly now that I know that they don't care. You know, like I honestly give them a lot of credit too because that's insane That's insane. I'm out here police loud. I can't even imagine being a police officer. So let me take that back. Let's rewind I but that's insane, man Though the weapons and tools that we have here I don't think I'd be a police officer over there Essentially going at the mercy of the wolves captain. Could you imagine sending the mercy of the wolves? So every you know without a taser without a firearm of some sort I would sooner go out without shoes that I would without without the kit like that And I guess you feel the same sergeant. It's like putting your shoes on right? All right We'll put this to the uk officers and ken I think there's a different environment out there I think uh, that's true Give us a very good Give us enough We don't obviously don't even kind of have the same level of gun fun And a lot of that's okay. That's true as well And it's really just been far on still man. Yeah, I believe the mere presence of having the taser is almost enough sometimes As a detergent as a detergent Determined Um, it's a it's a bright color. It stands out. It's a bright color. It stands out. What the fuck do that mean? When I go into jobs without I've been tased before Uh, it was in my younger days on some drunk shit And honestly that shit doesn't even hurt. So Person of like me like I'm keep it moving through the taser Take it off And subjects may feel that they have an advantage over me to some degree whilst I've still got Hey, especially you have like what seven thousand pubs or 70 thousand pubs like people be drunk as hell They can't feel that taser drunk And then y'all got the like london and uk is the highest rate of Sugar booger booger sugar Like off the off the off the class a drugs you can't feel that I believe So it's like that ain't enough Somebody with a knife they off the booger sugar May own your ass. It's as simple as that Man, let me know what you think in the comments man. T. L. L. Leave like comment subscribe
