What will be an ideal response?
The English under the leadership of Sir Robert Peel, and such leaders as John

implemented this model's traditional focus on crime detection and prevention.
The British have made many other contributions to law enforcement including
modern DNA systems used in forensics and extensive use of CCTV technology.
