"SCOTLAND'S biggest police force will be broken up under a controversial Labour plan aimed at boosting the local accountability of law enforcement. Strathclyde Police - which covers nearly half the population - would be drastically cut in size, with large areas hived off to other existing forces, under the Scottish Labour plan. Critics warn that if the break-up goes ahead, Scotland will lose all the expertise and benefits of having a large force, such as anti-terror, crowd control and helicopters. "
