The BBC seems to have an interesting idea on how we handle Public Safety here in the US:

Pharmacy raided by Jackson police

Drug police have searched a Las Vegas pharmacy as part of the investigation into the death of Michael Jackson.
But the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) would not say if the search of Applied Pharmacy Services was linked to Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray.
DEA Assistant Special Agent Michael Flanagan said: "We're assisting the DEA LA and LAPD in their ongoing investigation. So this is another part of that investigation."

OT:  the Mayor of Philadelphia is named "Nutter".
There is a family here in South Jersey named "Bonker".  I once knew a member of that family, but never had the opportunity (or gall) to ask him where their name came from.
