The police system in England and Wales cannot cope against sophisticated modern criminals without urgent reform, the head of the Metropolitan Police has said. In a speech on Friday, Sir Mark Rowley argued the system was "heading for failure" without change.
No, it’s not heading there, it arrived quite a while ago, and before you took over, so why haven’t you grabbed the steering wheel and turned it around?
He is proposing eight to 10 regional police forces, supported by hundreds of local policing commands and a new national force, in what would be the biggest overhaul of policing since the 1960s.The changes would replace the 43-force structure with three tiers: local teams dealing with neighbourhood issues, regional forces sharing specialist resources and a National Police Service tackling the most serious crimes.
Oh, I see, because you want it to crash!
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood produced a white paper that aligned with their ideas and asked the former Metropolitan Police Commissioner Lord Hogan-Howe to look at what the force boundaries might be. But everything changed in July when Andy Burnham became prime minister. So far, Burnham has not spoken publicly about the plans, and the police chiefs are nervous that they may not have his backing.
A sensible man would be nervous if they had the backing of this utter fool, but not you, eh, Rowley?
