National Police Service
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to help ensure that the voices of local residents will shape the strategic priorities of the new National Police Service.
Answered by Sarah Jones
The White Paper “From Local to National: A New Model for Policing” makes clear that the voices of local police governance bodies should form part of the governance of the National Police Service (NPS).
The Government will continue to work with Police and Crime Commissioners, Mayors and Local Police and Crime Boards to help establish the NPS and ensure that the voices of residents and communities are appropriately reflected.
