Police: Cooperation

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to support collaboration between police forces.

Answered by Sarah Jones

We are making sure that every penny spent within policing delivers improvement for the public through a Collaboration and Efficiencies Programme. Force-to-force collaboration remains an important part of this work.

In addition, an ambitious White Paper published later this year will outline significant reforms to allow policing to collaborate further to deal with the changing threats we face.
