The law
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.
For most people the police are the face of the law.
We visited a new police station in Lewisham, an area in south-east London. This is the custody room of the police station. A suspected criminal is being charged with a crime.
Next their take fingerprints to check the person's identity.
Next day he went to court. Here three magistrates listen to evidence from the police and witnesses.
They then decide if the person in guilty or not guilty.
The evidence that the police collect from a crime scene is analysed in laboratories like this.
They can examine and analyse material from the crime scene.
Fingerprints are a good of identifying people but DNA is more reliable.
