Ian Barnes and Tania Eagle
"In this article, Ian Barnes and Tanya Eagle of the Association of Police Authorities discuss what in their view is the greatest challenge to sustaining neighbourhood policing: securing an improved alignment and balance between flexible and localized responsiveness with a centralized performance management process that fosters competition by rigorously comparing forces, Basic Command Units and partnerships with each other. This significant challenge to the police service demonstrates the increasingly important role police authorities need to play in balancing between national and local requirements within the context of an ever-tightening financial outlook."
