‘The biggest shake-up in policing since the service was formed!’
Home and Security Editor Mark White reacts as Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood announces a new nationwide police force to tackle serious crime alongside regional forces.
The Labour Government has officially unveiled a radical overhaul of British policing, announcing the creation of a new National Police Service (NPS)—dubbed the "British FBI." Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood’s reforms aim to centralize counter-terror, fraud, and organized crime investigations, while simultaneously preparing a "White Paper" to merge the existing 43 regional forces into as few as 12 "mega-forces." We explore the implications of these sweeping changes, from the controversial "Licence to Practise" that could see veteran officers sacked, to the rapid rollout of facial recognition technology. Is this a necessary modernization of a "postcode lottery" system, or the beginning of an authoritarian shift in British law and order?
