What are the 4 types of local government?
There are four main types of local government- counties, municipalities ( cities and town), special districts, and school districts. Counties are the largest units of local government, numbering about 8,000 nationwide. They provide many of the same services provided by cities.
There are 343 local authorities in England.
The Police Committee, however, is severely restricted in its powers, not least by the fact that the police are not officers of the local authority but servants of the Crown. It is the Chief Constables and not the Police Committees that are answerable in law for the operational management of the service.
