"Senior police officers have made a trailblazing call for the creation of a national police force, it has emerged.
The Police Superintendents' Association said the 43 police forces in England and Wales should be swept away because they have 'outlived their usefulness'.
The association was the first among the three major police unions to give its backing to the controversial idea.
And it put it in direct opposition with the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo), which has explicitly said it would not favour such a move."
