"At its meeting on 13 December 2005, this Authority approved plans to recommend a ?strategic? West Mercia Police Service to the Home Secretary Charles Clarke. West Mercia Police Authority Chair, Mr Paul Deneen, "said plans to further enhance the performance of the top performing police service in England and Wales, rather than create a new regional police service for the entire West Midlands region, would be the most effective and efficient manner in which to invest in local policing services for the future".
