constabulary

Mr Hansen joined the constabulary as deputy chief constable in May 2013 and took the top job in May 2017, becoming the 16th person to head up the force in its history.

The local constabulary put down a man’s dog with the needle – a popular means of amusement among many in the Lone Star State and it is not limited to putting down lesser mammals.

The custom dates back more than 150 years, but was stopped in 1909 by the local constabulary, which saw the "straw bears" as a form of "cadging", or begging, for rewards.

A police watchdog had investigated the constabulary's response to Bernadette's disappearance - and made recommendations.

Scotland's chief inspector of constabulary has called for a strategic whole system review of mental health services.
