The guidance provided here is to assist Wikipedia editors to properly and consistently categorise articles about law enforcement agencies and law enforcement units. This guidance applies to articles about the law enforcement agency or unit. It is not, for example, directly applicable things related to the law enforcement agency, or law enforcement generally.

Failure to meet these guidelines is criteria for either speedy renaming, or possibly even speedy deletion, as per Categories for discussion.

This guideline is a tailored version of Naming conventions (categories) and Categorisation applied to law enforcement agencies, and should be read in conjunction with those two guidelines.

The top level category for law enforcement agencies is Law enforcement agencies

Note: Throughout the rest of this guideline, the term law enforcement agency means law enforcement agency or law enforcement unit (of an agency).

World view common category structure and naming

[සංස්කරණය]

There is a common top level categorisation structure for law enforcement agencies world wide. The standard name for the organisation within the world view standard is law enforcement agency.

The standardised top level structure is as follows:

At levels lower than the world view standard, the structure diverges for country specific contexts, if required. Also, country specific structures can be added into the lower levels of the world view standard.

Also, country specific lower level category structures may use country specific terms for the organisation.

Country specific structures below the common world view level

[සංස්කරණය]

While the common world view can be directly applied to most countries' law enforcement agencies, some countries have very specific and-or diverse law enforcement structures. In such cases there are standards for these countries for the lower levels of categorisation of law enforcement agencies.

United States

[සංස්කරණය]

The United States has one of the most fractured law enforcement agency regimes of all countries, and as a result has by far the greatest number of law enforcement agencies (the vast majority of them having small jurisdictions and small numbers of personnel). To accommodate the categorisation of a very large number of agencies and types of agency, lower levels of categorisation are needed than are needed for most other countries.

The sub categorisation of law enforcement agencies for the United States overlaps with the lower levels of the world view standard.

The standard for the United States is:

United Kingdom
