"This article reviews the events of September 2005 to August 2006 through the eyes of a police authority that was involved actively in resisting the former Home Secretary's plan to regionalise police forces. It offers some conclusions on what the experience has to say about the nature of our commitment to the local governance and accountability of the police service, how the position of police authorities within the tripartite structure has been affected by what has happened and how police authorities might be better prepared in future to assert their position on behalf of local communities and to counter continuing centripetal political, managerial and professional pressures for ever larger and ever more remote organisational structures."

"This report presents the findings and conclusions from Accenture’s review of Workforce Modernisation (WFM) initiatives across the Police Service. It brings together the evaluations of the ten Home Office Workforce Mix pilots, as well as research into other initiatives being undertaken by forces in England and Wales to assess the overall impact WFM can have on a force’s performance, cost efficiency and relationships with stakeholders and customers. It also identifies lessons learnt, highlighting the business readiness conditions and common success factors which are key to the success of WFM activities and outlines the issues which impact the longer term sustainability of WFM within forces."
