This template's initial visibility currently defaults to autocollapse, meaning that if there is another collapsible item on the page (a navbox, sidebar, or table with the collapsible attribute), it is hidden apart from its title bar; if not, it is fully visible.

Note: This large template is only intended for use on List of law enforcement agencies in the United Kingdom, Crown Dependencies and British Overseas Territories and Law enforcement in the United Kingdom.

To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used:

• {{UK law enforcement agencies|state=collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.
• {{UK law enforcement agencies|state=expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
