National police

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

National police are the primary source of law enforcement activities in some countries, such as Italy, France and Japan, and are organised on a national basis. They provide all manner of law enforcement such as patrol and prevention, crime investigation, and counter-intelligence.

The United States of America does not have a national police force, as such, although United States Marshals fulfill somewhat similar functions. Any attempt to establish a true national U.S. police force would require a constitutional amendment, since such things are normally forbidden under the Tenth Amendment:

  • The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Thus, since the Constitution as it exists today does not provide for the establishment of a national U.S. police force, a further amendment would be required to create one.
