Scotland Yard keeps extensive files on all known criminals in the United Kingdom. Although Scotland Yard’s responsibility is limited to metropolitan London, its assistance is often sought by police in other parts of England.
The Scotland Yard entrance became the public entrance to the police station. Scotland Yard, the site of their first headquarters, eventually became the official name of the force.
