Shabana Mahmood to slash number of police forces in major overhaul
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is preparing to unveil what government sources describe as the largest shake-up in decades on Monday, aimed at tackling "an epidemic of everyday offences". Under the proposed changes, the number of forces, currently standing at 43, will be significantly cut. The remaining, larger forces will be tasked with focusing on serious and organised crime, alongside complex investigations such as homicides."
Supporters fund independent, paywall-free journalism to send reporters to cover issues from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech. The outlet investigates political finance and produces documentaries highlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. The number of police forces in England and Wales is planned to be significantly reduced from 43 under a major overhaul. The reform aims to refocus larger merged forces on serious and organised crime and complex investigations such as homicides. Local areas will become designated local policing areas with neighbourhood officers concentrating on shoplifting and anti-social behaviour. Reforms intend to save money by merging back-office functions.
