The Social Justice and Regeneration Committee

Restructuring the Constabulary - Democratic Structures

The Social Justice and Regeneration Committee completed its review on Restructuring the Constabulary in November 2005. Following that, the Home Secretary has announced that the preferred option is for the four existing police forces in Wales to merge into one All Wales Strategic Force. He proposes to introduce legislation to that effect.

In order to assist in this, the Committee wishes to invite you to contribute to its consideration by providing a written submission setting out your organisation’s views on the issues and options for regional and local accountability which would underpin a new Strategic Police Force in Wales, including any detailed factual information that may be relevant.
