What is a government 'schedule'?
The story refers to the government 'accelerating its schedule' for police specialisation. A schedule is essentially a timeline or plan for when a government policy or initiative is expected to be implemented. Speeding it up means bringing the target completion date forward, showing a greater sense of urgency and commitment to the issue.
