Scotland Yard is often used as a metonym the Metropolian police service of London, UK. It derives from the location of the original Metropolitan Police headquarters at 4 Whitehall Place, which had a rear entrance on a street called Great Scotland yard. The Scotland Yard entrance became the public entrance to the police station.The most famous police station in Britain is New Scotland Yard in London, but there are police stations all over the country. They've all got a blue light outside to show they are police stations. We visited a new police station in Lewisham. A suspected a criminal is being charged with a crime.
Suspects can be kept in the cells at the police station for several hours. This suspect spent a whole night in the cells.
Next day he went to court. Here three magistrates listen to evicence from the police and witnesses.
The police are the most obvious part of the law in Britain. Their job is to make sure that people don't break the law and to catch them when they do. Forensic scientists provide the evidence that helps the courts decide whether a suspect is guilty of a crime or not. The courts then decide on the sentence.
