The Police and the intelligence Agents American TV and movies once gave a tough and brutal picture of the American police, though now there are TV series which have cops as heroes and defenders of society. The police are grateful for the good publicity and their new image, especially in cities where there are black ghettos （聚居区）. White policemen are now careful of how they speak and behave towards their fellow black citizens. The cop, or ordinary policeman, is a city or a State employee. He cannot arrest anyone outside his city or his State. He cannot even cross the border into a neighboring State in pursuit of a criminal. If the does, he can be charged with breaking the law of that State. The police who have to be really tough are those that operate in big cities, like New York, Chicago and Detroit, which have large ghettos and organized crimes. Since the majority of criminals are armed, American cops have to use their guns more often than most policemen in other places and the car chases through the crowded streets of Manhattan, which are a favorite feature of gangster movies （警匪片）, are not so exaggerated. American cops get shot down, run over, stabbed, beaten up, and their wives are in constant fear that one day their men will not come home. Many policemen do a lot to help children whose parents are criminals. They understand better than most citizens the awful misery of the ghettos. They feel sorry for the drug addicts, but often treat roughly the “pushers” who sell the drugs—when they can catch them. They have been accused of making no serious attempt to break up the various drug rings. They claim that such a task would be never-ending. In big cities, the Police Commissioner （Head of the Force） is often appointed by Mayor and therefore senior police officers tend to be too closely linked to politics. Their ambitions sometimes tempt them to turn a blind eye or to accept bribes, which lowers the morale of the ordinary cop. The structure of the many different American police forces is said to be the most varied in the whole world. The city police often come into conflict with the FBI—the Federal Bureau of Investigation. FBI men, who do not wear uniforms, have the right to cross State borders if they are pursuing a suspect. They are responsible to the US Department of Justice, and have their headquarters in Washington, D.C. The head of the FBI is chief domestic intelligence adviser to the President. The FBI men are more concerned with spies and agents hostile to the USA, radicals and Mafia（黑手党） bosses than they are with ordinary criminals, but they do keep a record of all crimes, which city and State police can consult if they wish. The FBI laboratory services, among the best in the world, are also available to local law enforcement agencies.The activities of the CIA—the Central Intelligence Agency—are now well known in every country in the world. The job of the CIA is to keep the Government informed of the activities of foreign agents and the secret preparations of hostile powers. CIA agents also work in countries where if is felt that aid, or the promise of aid, will maintain sympathy for the USA. Sometimes the CIA’s actions do just the reverse, and in many parts of the world including countries friendly to the USA, they are disliked and even feared. However, the CIA is just one of the many secret services which all countries use to protect themselves against possible enemies.1.
