Police Forced to Restructure

Police Force Restructuring
Home Office Press Release
11 April 2006
I am satisfied, on the basis of the protective services assessment
undertaken by HMIC and our evaluation of the financial and other
aspects of the business cases submitted to us in December, that it
would be in the interests of the efficiency or effectiveness of
policing for the following forces to merge:
* Humberside, North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire
* Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire and
Nottinghamshire
* Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk
* Bedfordshire, Essex and Hertfordshire
* Surrey and Sussex
[Whether they like it or not!]
