"David Blunkett will herald a return to traditional 'bobby on the beat' policing this week when he argues that every citizen in Britain should know the name of their local police officer and play an active part in the fight against crime and antisocial behaviour.
During a speech to the Police Superintendents' Association conference, the Home Secretary will urge middle-ranking officers to embrace changes proposed in a forthcoming White Paper on police reform allowing local communities to trigger action against members of the community who cause a nuisance. "
