Setting out the Government’s planned agenda for the next Parliamentary session, His Majesty King Charles III delivered the King’s Speech on Wednesday 13 May.
The speech referenced several proposed legislative changes, including the continuation of reforms to policing.
Police and Crime Commissioner John Campion said: “I believe communities want a police service that is fit for the challenges it now faces. After six decades without significant reform, it is right that time is being given to modernise policing. But it is vital this is done with the public, not to the public.
“That’s why I launched a consultation to give communities an opportunity to have their say on proposed plans to reduce the number of police forces from 43 to 12. I would encourage anyone who hasn’t yet taken part to do so before Monday 15 June, when I will share the results with the Government.”
