"POLICE authority members agreed to include a proposal to keep Suffolk's force independent in a business case to be submitted to the Home Office on future policing. The Government has made it clear its preference for police forces to merge across the country in a bid to improve efficiency and response to major incidents. Suffolk Police Authority has outlined three options that explore the possibility of an amalgamation with neighbouring forces but has added an additional fourth choice which is to maintain and enhance the status quo."
