Summary
"Our report examines whether the Department, with other policing stakeholders, has effectively managed the risks of reduced police funding. It is not a contradiction to the government’s policy of localism to assess whether a Department has enough information to make good decisions about the level of central funding provided.
The report has three parts:
Part One describes the reductions in police force funding.
Part Two examines the impact of funding reductions and the changing nature of policing.
Part Three assesses the current oversight and accountability regime."--Page 6.
