Police Amalgamation

Asked why the Prime Minister was now in favour of amalgamation when in 1995 he had spoken out against amalgamation of police forces, as it would remove local policing further from communities, the PMOS said that first of all people should await the outcome of the decision making process. Second he referred journalists to the Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary report (HMIC). Thirdly it was more than 10 years since the Prime Minister had made those remarks in opposition and sadly we were all living in a very different policing environment now.
