Top cops are calling for a national police force to tackle the rising tide of crime, claiming that Britain's regional police forces have been rendered redundant by sophisticated criminals.
Plans put forward by the influential Police Superintendents' Association could spell the end of individual constabularies like the West Midlands, West Mercia and Staffordshire forces.
They would be replaced by one national body, a move that would have a major impact on the role of Chief Constables who currently organise policing in their own areas."
