peer agreement (net): +1Judicial police works for the prosecution/CID police are ordinary plainclothes police/detectives... Explanation: I checked websites on the judicial police from several countries. I am not an expert but, from what I can see, the main difference seems to be that: The "judicial police" conducts investigations under the supervision of the prosecutor, and... The CID police are plainclothesmen/detectives independent of the prosecutor and conduct their own independent investigations. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_Investigation_Departme... The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) is the branch of all British Police and many other Commonwealth police forces to which plain clothes detectives belong. It is thus distinct from the Uniformed Branch and the Special Branch. CID officers must have spent at least two years as uniformed officers before applying to transfer to the branch and receive further training when they do so. The Metropolitan Police CID, the first such organisation, was set up on 7 April 1878 by C. E. Howard Vincent. Originally it was only responsible to the Home Secretary, but since 1888 has been under the authority of the Commissioner. CID officers are involved in investigation of major crimes such as rape, murder, serious assault, fraud, and any other offences that require complex detection. They are responsible for acting upon intelligence received and then building a case, from analysis of the initial incident through to arrest and prosecution of any suspects. http://www.ipls.org/services/judicial/j8.html From its very nature, the Judicial Police, exercises its investigative functions, for the most part, in strict co-operation with the Prosecution. The Judicial Police officers are supposed to investigate criminal offences that are reported to the Prosecution Office as well as any other case assigned to them by the prosecutor http://polis.osce.org/countries/details?item_id=62 (KOREA) 2. Prosecution The judicial police conducts investigations under the supervision of prosecutors. |

peer agreement (net): +2Much the same, but "judicial police" is not truly English Explanation: "Judicial Police" is used as a translation of the French "Police Judiciare" and of similar bodies in other countries such as Mexico, Turkey and Bosnia, but not to refer to police organizations in English-speaking countries. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 days (2008-01-27 18:00:55 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If your text has both "CID" and "Judicial Police" in the same sentence, I don't know what you would call it. Otherwise, I think you could safely call it "CID", as the closest to it, even if not exactly the same. It is more like the system in the other countries since the Crown Prosecution Service was established a few years ago, to which the police have to refer cases for a decision on whether to prosecute or not. Previously, it was up to the police to decide. |
