Sir Mark Rowley will warn that policing in England and Wales is heading for failure without urgent reform. The Metropolitan Police commissioner proposes cutting 43 forces to eight to ten regional forces, backed by local commands and a new National Police Service. He says organised crime, fraud and cyber threats cross borders while forces stay local. Some rural commissioners still dispute the mega-force merger plans.
