Kent Police is the territorial police force for Kent in England, including the unitary authority of Medway. ==Area and organisation== The force covers an area of with an approximate population of 1,660,588 (1,114,100 in Kent,〔http://www.kent.gov.uk/your_council/kent_facts_and_figures/population_and_census.aspx〕 and 249,488 in Medway).〔http://www.medway.gov.uk/councilanddemocracy/statistics/populationstatistics.aspx〕 The Chief Constable is currently Alan Pughsley, who was appointed in 2014. Kent Police were the first force in The United Kingdom to be led by a black Chief Constable; Michael Fuller QPM. Due to the Channel Tunnel, Kent Police is unique among English forces in having a police station outside of the country, in Coquelles, France, staffed by Kent Police. Kent Police work with other UK and European forces as part of the Cross Channel Intelligence Community, helping to tackle cross-border crime.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Cross Channel Intelligence Community (CCIC) )〕 The cross channel traffic occasionally causes Kent Police and the Highways Agency to enforce Operation Stack, controlling the freight flow on that part of the M20 motorway closest to the ports. Kent also has the largest strategic road network of any force in the UK, covering four motorways. Proposals made by the Home Secretary on 20 March 2006 saw Kent Police stay as a standalone strategic force for Kent and Medway; it had been suggested that Kent should merge with another police force. The Port of Dover maintains its own independent police force, the Port of Dover Police, however Kent Police has statutory responsibility for policing the entire county and will take over primacy of serious investigations and incidents within the port when appropriate. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kent Police」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
