Strathclyde Police was the territorial police force responsible for the Scottish council areas of Argyll and Bute, City of Glasgow, East Ayrshire, East Dunbartonshire, East Renfrewshire, Inverclyde, North Ayrshire, North Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire, South Ayrshire, South Lanarkshire and West Dunbartonshire (The former Strathclyde local government region) between 1975 and 2013. The Police Authority contained members from each of these authorities. Strathclyde Police had the largest numbers of staff and served the largest population and the second largest area of the eight former Scottish police forces, after the Northern Constabulary. An Act of the Scottish Parliament, the ''Police and Fire Reform (Scotland) Act 2012'', created a single Police Service of Scotland—known as Police Scotland—with effect from 1 April 2013.〔(STV News ), 30 October 2012〕 This act merged the eight regional police forces in Scotland (including Strathclyde Police), together with the Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency, into a single service covering the whole of Scotland. The force was portrayed in the television series ''Taggart''. ==History== The force was created on 16 May 1975 as part of the restructuring of local government in Scotland. The police area matched the boundaries of the new Strathclyde Regional Council, which was broken up on 1 April 1996. It was formed from, either in whole or in part: * City of Glasgow Police * Lanarkshire Constabulary * Renfrew & Bute Constabulary * Dunbartonshire Constabulary * Argyll County Police * Ayrshire Constabulary * small portion of Stirling and Clackmannan Police 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「Strathclyde Police」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
