In response to evolving crime dynamics, UK police chiefs are contemplating significant changes to policing, the most substantial since the 1960s. A proposed national police body would centralize counter-terrorism efforts, currently part of local forces, under a new organization covering England and Wales. This shift aims to enhance recruitment, stabilize the workforce, and enable a stronger fight against violent extremism and state-sponsored espionage. The initiative, spearheaded by the joint reform team, emphasizes the necessity for modern law enforcement capabilities to address increasingly national and international crime trends.
Plans to create a new national police body aim to enhance counter-terrorism and serious crime responses in the UK, adapting to evolving crime dynamics.
The proposed shift in policing structure reflects the need for counter-terrorism units in England and Wales to operate independently for more effective national and international crime prevention.
