  • Police officers from Humberside in the North east of England stand in front of the main entrance to the Olympic Park as a visible presence during the London 2012 Olympics. More than 230 officers from across the Humber region travelled to London to help police the Olympic Games. Holidays were restricted, training reduced and special constables  drafted in to provide cover in Hull and the East Riding as officers were sent to London to police the city while the Games are on. Senior officers say they have been working hard to ensure "core policing" across Hull and the East Riding is not weakened.

  • Two police officers guard the outside of the London Libyan embassy that still flies the pro-Gadaffi flag. Seen from a low-angle, we look up top the two men in the uniforms of the Metropolitan police, we focus on the green flag of revolutionary Libyan dictator Muammar al-Gaddafi who made the solid green colours the emblem of his regime. On 1 September 1969, a small group of military officers led by then 27-year-old army officer Muammar al-Gaddafi staged a coup d'état against King Idris, launching the Libyan Revolution. In the days after the uprising sweeping across the north African country, the embassy remains loyal to the beleaguered government.

  • Two Metropolitan Police officers patrol the tidal waters River Thames beneath the bow HMS Belfast warship in London, England. In their small boat used to police and often make searches of the river in central London, their searchlight watches for people in the water - especially on Fridays and around New year. The Underwater and Confined Space Search Team (UCSST), are part of the Marine Support Unit and based at Wapping. They also carry out searches in canals, ponds, lakes and reservoirs. It was set up as a full time unit in 1964. One of their most distressing jobs, however, is recovering bodies from the River. On average over 50 people lose their lives in the Thames each year and about 80% of these are by suicide (usually by jumping off one of the many bridges that cross the Thames).

  • A cross in sunlight shows the Katyn memorial set in a forest in Warsaw, Poland. The Katyn war cemetery is a Polish military cemetery located in Warsaw commemorating the massacre of Polish officers during the second world war although the town of Katyn is a small village near Smolensk, Russia. It contains the remnants of 4,412 Polish officers of the Kozelsk prisoner of war camp, who were murdered in 1940 in what is called the Katyn massacre. The soldiers were buried in six large mass graves. Until 1991 it was known that the Nazis were responsible but after the end of Communism did they Russians admit that Stalin's forces killed the Poles. There is also a Russian part of the cemetery, where an undisclosed number of victims of the Soviet Great Purges of the 1930's were buried by the NKVD. The cemetery was officially opened in 2000.

Forty-five police officers were among the 113 people injured as well as 20 police horses. 340 people were arrested.

  • Two Metropolitan Police officers patrol the tidal waters River Thames near Tower Bridge in London, England. In their small boat used to police and often make searches of the river in central London, their searchlight watches for people in the water - especially on Fridays and around New year. The Underwater and Confined Space Search Team (UCSST), are part of the Marine Support Unit and based at Wapping. They also carry out searches in canals, ponds, lakes and reservoirs. It was set up as a full time unit in 1964. One of their most distressing jobs, however, is recovering bodies from the River. On average over 50 people lose their lives in the Thames each year and about 80% of these are by suicide (usually by jumping off one of the many bridges that cross the Thames).

  • Awaiting the call-up from superior officers, a phalanx of German riot police stand in their ranks, with shields resting on the ground of a central Berlin park. Their orders will be to keep control of protesters in the former eastern sector of the German city, in the months after the fall of the Wall and the communist state, the GDR (German Democratic Republic) or DDR. Because Germany is now one country (though reunification itself has yet to happen), West German officers of the Bundespolizei (BPOL) which is the uniformed federal police force of Germany, wait patiently for orders from their western masters. The Bundespolizei consists of around 40,000 personnel, from border control, aviation wings, civil servants, immigration services and riot control (Beweissicherungs and Festnahmeeinheit).

  • The Monday morning following the attacks on September 11th we see two officers of the NYPD wearing dust masks to protect themselves from the ambient pollution that pervaded the air in Manhattan weeks after the terrorist devastation at Ground Zero. The two policemen rest on the back of a bench near Wall Street whose financial institutions were so disrupted. Days after the historical events and to help maintain a comforting police presence, the police and National Guard were on every street corner, security being prominent at all nationally symbolic institutions and buildings. As a show of force, it was also a clear deterrent for would-be petty criminals when New Yorkers felt vulnerable to further attack.
