The most famous police station in Britain is New Scotland Yard in London, but there are police stations all over the country. They've all got a blue outside to show they are police stations.
This is the custody room of the police station. a suspected criminal is being charged with crime. He must hand over everything he's carrying or has got in his pockets.
Next they take fingerprints to check the person's identity. This machine scans fingerprints electronically and compares them with the national police database. They also take mouth swabs for analysis of DNA.
Next day he went to court. Here three magistrates listen to evidence from the police and witnesses. They then decide if the person is guilty or not guilty.
The evidence that the police collect from a crime scene is analysed in laboratories like this.
The people who work here are called forensic scientist. They can examine and analyse material form the crime scene to find out exacly what happened.
The police are the most obvious part of the law in Britain.
Forensic scientist provide the evidence that helps the courts decide whether a suspect is guilty of a crime or not. The courts then decide on the sentence.
