Police forces are government organizations charged with the responsibility of maintaining law and order, and to protect the general public from harm. The word comes from French police, itself from Latin politia ("civil administration"), itself from Ancient Greek πολιτεια, referring to government or administration, from Greek πολις (polis) = "city". The word police was first recorded in the French language in 1250 (in the sense of "administration, political organisation"), but it acquired its modern sense of preservation of law and order only in the 17th century. The police may also be known as a constabulary, after constables, who were an early manifestation of police officers, although the term constable is still in use in some jurisdictions. In North America, typically the legal term for "police officer" is peace officer, although the public typically refers to them as police. Other names include sheriff, marshall and ranger.

A police department is the organisation or commission that is made up of police officers.

Police armament and equipment


In many jurisdictions, police officers carry firearms in the normal course of their duties.
