England and Wales- an end to amalgamation debate for some time to come;
Unlike Scotland where the amalgamation issue continues?;
Currently the emphasis is now placed on collaboration between police forces;
This is making considerable progress – regionalisation through the back door?

New Localism – a growing consensus that centrally run ‘local’ services need to be returned to local communities;
A range of Think –Tanks have demonstrated a common assessment of the need for change-
IPPR, NLGN, Policy Exchange, Reform -each have a shared view of local accountability mechanisms and direct election.

Ending concept of omni-competent police forces;
Disaggregation and creation of national police units – but mindful of SOCA experience;
These would deal with Level 2+3 crime; Allow for the development of local policing
to confront Level 1 crime + ASB;

Funding challenges- these are likely to grow and will impact on all public services;
Policing is expensive and may encourage search for alternative provision through the extended police family concept;
Policy Exchange research ‘Fitting the Bill’ 2007- argues for devolved budgets to local BCU commanders;
This would change the profile of local policing

Devolved budgets would encourage this development;
Considerable evidence that funding voluntary bodies brings big dividends and preferable to
expanding local service bureaucracies; Private Sector- PFI example Reliance and
Sussex Police; Workforce Modernisation – results from
current sites very positive; Mixed Economy Teams provide value.

Ironically financial stringency could offer new opportunities and encourage greater entrepreneurial activity;
This premised on delegated budgets to local commanders;
Implementation of Mixed Economy Teams; Local Authority engagement- neighbourhood
wardens et al- buying in to local service delivery to reduce abstraction rates.

Much greater private sector engagement; Significant change in central-local
responsibility for policing; Direct elections and local accountability; Significant reform of public sector pay and
conditions- note Ian Blair’s comments at PERF Washington DC 2009;
Policing styles and the ‘war on terrorism’.
