An important difference between FBI and MI5 is that MI5 has no police or arrest powers; when required, they go to a police organization. There is a continuing debate on whether or not an organization, whose root culture is law enforcement, is a workable model for current domestic security. I can make arguments either way, but it's not a clear cut issue. [[User:Howard C. Berkowitz|Howard C. Berkowitz]] 19:43, 24 July 2008 (CDT)

FBI and MI5

An important difference between FBI and MI5 is that MI5 has no police or arrest powers; when required, they go to a police organization. There is a continuing debate on whether or not an organization, whose root culture is law enforcement, is a workable model for current domestic security. I can make arguments either way, but it's not a clear cut issue. Howard C. Berkowitz 19:43, 24 July 2008 (CDT)

Yes, but is it also not the fact that each state has its own jurisdiction that makes a federal police necessary? The UK has only one police and one set of laws, I seem to recall. Johan A. Förberg 22:25, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
