editThe link to the Deutsch version seems to be to an article about something slightly different, but I don't know what to change it to so I can't fix it. 203.217.22.128 22:09, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
Sri Lankan CID
edit"The Criminal Investigation Department of the Sri Lanka Police Service is responsible for carried out investigations into crimes, including murders and organized crime. It was established in 1870."
User:Police,Mad,Jack has deleted this (admittedly unsourced) addition, claiming it to be "controversial". A quick skim online only turns up the Sri Lankan police's own site to back up the 1870 date - is this highly disputed? Or is the existence of Sri Lanka's CID a controversial subject in itself? --McGeddon (talk) 21:09, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
- not remotely controversial. reffed and added. ninety:one 21:34, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
At the time it was not reffed, I removed it because it was unsourced. No further reason to add, it is a good enough one. And yes, anything can be classed as controversial. Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs)☺ 08:44, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
- Isn't it a bit strange to have a separate paragraph, placed before anything else, which essentially says that the situation in Sri Lanka is much the same as in the rest of the Commonwealth? What is so special about Sri Lanka? Or do we need a special paragraph about every country where this applies before we actually get down to a description of what the CID is and does? I detect a whiff of national pride here - nothing wrong with that, Sri Lanka is a beautiful country and may for all I know have a first-class CID, but is it really so much more important than anything else that can be said about the subject?

What Distinction???
editSpecial Branch are plain clothes detectives, so what exactly is the distinction???. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.220.75.21 (talk) 13:55, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
- There is a seperate page regarding Special Branch on Wikipedia. Perhaps the distinction, is better explained there, than I can do.Betty Butt (talk) 05:20, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Requested move 30 November 2015
edit- The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: not moved. Necrothesp's argument is compelling and has received a fair level of support. Jenks24 (talk) 05:01, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
- Criminal Investigation Department → Criminal Investigation Department (United Kingdom)
- Criminal Investigation Department (disambiguation) → Criminal Investigation Department
– The UK article currently occupies the article Criminal Investigation Department. Since this is a very generic title of a department that also exists in many other countries, including other English-speaking ones, I propose a rename that follows other generic titles such as Ministry of Justice → Ministry of Justice (United Kingdom) etc. —МандичкаYO 😜 11:41, 30 November 2015 (UTC) --Relisted. Natg 19 (talk) 17:23, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
- Support generic. But User:Wikimandia are you going to help fix broken links? In ictu oculi (talk) 16:21, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- Sure... some of the current links are alreading being used generically anyway, such as in Royal Canadian Mounted Police. —МандичкаYO 😜 02:27, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose as proposed. Less than a third of the article is actually about the British CID. The article should be kept as it is and the specifically British info, except for a summary as per the other countries, hived off to a separate Criminal Investigation Department (United Kingdom) article. Criminal Investigation Department (disambiguation) should be redirected here. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:05, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
- Strong Support generic term used in many places, should be a disambiguation page -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 06:10, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
- Comment Crime Investigation Department should point to CID (disambiguation) instead of here, due to the multiple CIDs -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 06:12, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose per Necrothesp: the bulk of this article is about Criminal Investigation Department across the British Commonwealth, meaning it's suitable as WP:CONCEPTDAB. I recommend cleanup by creating a separate UK article for the UK-specific material rather than just moving the article around.--Cúchullain t/c 13:28, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose per Necrothesp. Tiggerjay (talk) 02:11, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

"Crime Investigation Department"
editThe usage and topic of Crime Investigation Department is under discussion, see Talk:Crime Investigation Department (India) -- 70.51.46.195 (talk) 08:35, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
Contradictory
editThe lede of this article appears to contradict itself: it names both the CID section of Nottingham Borough Police and the Metropolitan Police Service CID as the first. Is there some nuance I'm missing? – Arms & Hearts (talk) 20:14, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
- I noticed that too just now - would you believe it's been this way since 2013? The source on the Nottingham claim that was added at that time is this page: [1] If true, I'm not sure what that says about the Metropolitan Police claim to being 'the first CID'. 2.97.92.184 (talk) 14:52, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
- I reworded introduction I couldn't find a reference that said the MPS CID as first. The book "The Ascent of the Detective: Police Sleuths in Victorian and Edwardian England" states there were many detective units setup after 1842. The detective branch formed in 1842 may have been the first plainclothes "detective unit". --Melbguy05 (talk) 11:47, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
