Essex Police is a territorial police force responsible for policing the county of Essex in the east of England. It is one of the largest non-metropolitan police forces in the United Kingdom, employing approximately 3,600 police officers and operating across an area of over and with a population of around 1.6 million people. The Chief Constable is Stephen Kavanagh〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate =29 May 2014 )〕 since May 2013. Assistant Chief Constable for Media Relations Gary Beautridge is also simultaneously ACC for Area Operations for Kent Police due to the two forces forming a joint Serious Crime Directorate.〔(kent.police.uk )〕 In November 2012, the first ever Police and Crime Commissioner elections took place, in which Conservative candidate Nick Alston achieved 30.5% of the first round votes, and 51.5% of the second round votes against Independent candidate Mick Thwaites. Alston set his 4 priorities in his election statement〔()〕 as 1) policing that meets local needs, 2) policing that is prompt and professional, 3) effective cooperation and partnership between Police, Councils and the Voluntary Sector, and 4) to be an influential voice in leading public engagement about crime reduction and policing, and to listen to and speak for the victims of crime. Nick Alston was elected with a 12.8% turnout.〔()〕 ==History== Essex Constabulary was formed in 1840. In 1965, the force had an establishment of 1,862 officers. Southend-on-Sea Borough Police was established by the county borough of Southend-on-Sea, England, in 1914. In 1969 Southend-on-Sea Borough Police amalgamated with Essex Constabulary to become the Essex and Southend-on-Sea Joint Constabulary. This merger was campaigned against by the council and the local MPs. The title was shortened to Essex Police in 1974. In April 2000, it took over parts of the county in the west formerly in the Metropolitan Police Area. 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「Essex Police」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
