This is your opportunity to share your views on the Government's proposal to merge police forces across England and Wales.
Matthew Barber (Police and Crime Commissioner) has sent a letter to the Home Secretary, setting out his concerns on the Police Reform White Paper, which can be viewed on our website: https://www.thamesvalley-pcc.gov.uk/news/police-reform-plans/
The government is currently carrying out an Independent Review of Police Force Structures, having confirmed its intention to merge the current 43 forces across England and Wales into larger regional forces as part of reforms.
We don’t yet know what this means for Thames Valley Police as it will be dependent on the outcome of the review.
However, if forces are reduced to 12 regional forces Thames Valley could become part of a larger regional South East force.
