Read the original article on telegraph.co.uk (opens in a new tab)The Telegraph reports a letter from North Wales chief constable Amanda Blakeman complaining that a small group of police chiefs shaped the debate on Shabana Mahmood's plans to cut the number of forces without consulting other chief constables. The article attributes her complaints, the commissioners' objections to mergers and the NPCC chair's reply to the people who made them. It also lets the chair, the target of her letter, answer in his own words.
“which they say could undermine police links with their communities”
The article attributes the commissioners' warning about the mergers to them rather than stating it as fact.
“While there is widespread consensus for significant reform, there are differing views on how that is delivered in practice”
The article gives the NPCC chair, the target of the letter, space to answer in his own words.
