A NEW MODE

“The time is
come when we
may freely
pronounce that
the country has
outgrown her
police institutions”
Robert Peel 1828
The “Peelers”
Policing by consent
The drop in public confidence threatens
policing by consent
Prevention better than cure
It would be much better to prevent
crime from happening in the first place,
rather than after the event
Proactive
We need stronger capability at the
centre to anticipate trends, identify
patterns and get ahead of the
game
Visible
Forty-three local forces policing our
communities
Enhanced capability
We need the capability to tackle
cross-border and serious and
organised crime
High Standards
It is time to revolutionise professional
standards and police learning and to hold
everyone accountable for those standards
Dr Rick Muir
Director - The Police Foundation
1. The challenge
Traditional crime is down 75%

Fraud and cyber crime
offences made up over
53% of crime in 2021,
the most common type
of crime experienced
by people in England
and Wales.

Public confidence
1. There is a capacity challenge: the police on their own cannot
successfully tackle the range and complexity of these demands.
2. There is a capability challenge: the police lack many of the
capabilities required to tackle current and future challenges.
3. There is an organisational challenge: the police do not posses the
right organisational platform upon which they can deliver the
capabilities required.
Three implications
2. The capacity
challenge
We need a public safety system which
prevents crime and harm from happening in
the first place.
This should be anchored around a new Crime
Prevention Agency and a general duty on
business to prevent crime.
The public safety system
We define the core role of the police as being to promote
public safety by maintaining order and upholding the law,
which their unique powers enable them to do, and to carry
out other activities which enable them to perform this core
role legitimately, effectively and with minimum reliance on
those powers.
The role of the police
3. The capability
challenge
CAPABILITIES
LEGITIMACY
SKILLS
TECHNOLOGY
LEARNING
LEADERSHIP
WELLBEING
4. The organisational
challenge
LOCAL
REGIONAL
NATIONAL
• An agency to prevent crime
• An agency to pursue and disrupt serious and
organised crime
• An agency to improve policing
43 forces focused on 24/7 response, local crime
investigation, neighbourhood policing, safeguarding and
offender management
• NCA regional organised crime units
• Regional Police Support Units hosting specialist
capabilities, operational support and business support
functions
• A new Crime Prevention Agency to galvanise efforts to prevent crime and to
tackle surging levels of fraud and cyber crime.
• A strengthened National Crime Agency to shift the odds against organised
crime networks.
• The introduction of a new licence to practice for all police officers that is
renewed every five years to improve professional development and raise
standards.
• The merger of back office and specialist functions across the 43 forces that
would save hundreds of millions of pounds.
• Investment in front line policing, training and technology to modernise the
service.
Main recommendations
“The time is come when, from the increase in its population,
the enlargement of its resources, and the multiplying
development of its energies, we may fairly pronounce that the
country has outgrown her police institutions and that the
cheapest and safest course will be found in the introduction
of a new mode of protection.”
Sir Robert Peel, 1828
Back to the future

Editor's Notes

  1. Note how the review is strategic and that it came in two phases 1) what’s the challenge and 2) what kind of police service and wider response do we need to meet that challenge?
  2. The first thing to say is that traditional crime has fallen by 75% since 1995
  3. Three TRANSFORMATIONS that are creating new forms of public safety challenge. The first is the TECHNOLOGICAL REVOLUTION
  4. The second set of changes relate to humanity’s relationship with the natural environment, out of which flow a set of public safety challenges – these include CLIMATE CHANGE and PANDEMICS
  5. Society is changing too in ways that pose new challenges for the police – in 3 respects – complex needs, victims of previously neglected forms of crime and abuse demanding justice, new patterns of social division and tension
  6. So, how well are the police performing amidst all of this? Detection rates have halved in last 7 years, response times longer, victim satisfaction has declined and public confidence has fallen. NB Most police officers work hard and very dedicated. HMICFRS say police forces are using their resources better, but outcomes are deteriorating. More about social change than a deterioration in performance.

  8. Policing on its own cannot respond to the range volume and complexity of the challenges described: two responses 1) we need to think about policing as part of a wider public safety system and 2) we need to be clearer about the role of the police in that system
  9. Nb These are systemic rather than operational capabilities
  10. The local dimension is crucial but the current structure has 5 flaws: it is not designed to tackle cross border crime, it is not good at developing specialism, it is inefficient, the regional tier is too precarious and the centre is too weak
  11. NB also at national level a stronger role for the Home Office
