Safe Speed Forums

Read recently a lot of talk about merging police forces - some were for it some were against -
Now they're going to be merged ,whether they want to or not --

FIFTEEN police forces will be merged into four regional super bodies, Home Secretary Charles Clarke announced said yesterday.

He said authorities with less than 4,000 officers were not viable
seemore

Now ,what is going to happen to the pratnerships - and will Durham's safety record go down the drain?

He's as bad as Blunkett and twice as ugly!

Whats going to happen to the top brass - e.g in midlands - Staffs/warks /west mercia moving to west midlands ??(does that mean merging with west mids) --3 sets of top brass put out to grass = a heck of a lot of redundancy money , or is it going to be like (Burbeck said)
"And he also set out his plans to create a Commander for Coventry and Warwickshire who would be accountable to the community. "

I.E. another layer of expensive top brass for the tax payer to cough up for.

"He(Ian Roberts, chair of the North Wales Police Authority,) said: "I think local accountability would be the main one and north Wales having its own regional board. I think that would make a vast difference to a lot of people."


Now i wonder if this was what the idea behind pooling reciepts from the scamerati was about ??
