| abstract | - Law enforcement in the United Kingdom is regulated by the laws of the appropriate country of the United Kingdom, i.e., Scotland, Northern Ireland, England and Wales (administration of police matters is not generally affected by the Government of Wales Act 2006), and arranged in geographical areas matched to the boundaries of one or more local authorities. Each country has a number of "territorial police forces" except for Northern Ireland (which has one unified force, the Police Service of Northern Ireland). It is common for the territorial police forces in England and Wales to be referred to as "Home Office" police forces, after the government department which exercises control at a national level in England and Wales, but this is erroneous as the description can encompass a number of miscellaneous forces subject to some kind of control by the Home Office but which are not the concern of the various Police Acts which control territorial police forces. __TOC__
