The Commons' home affairs select committee has warned ministers' decision to cram so much change to policing in 2012 creates risks.
The study has been welcomed by the Association of Police Authorities (APA). APA deputy chairman, Cllr Mark Burns Williamson, said: ‘Our concern is that piling the toughest cuts, abolishing police authorities and national policing training agencies, plus untested plans for elected police commissioners and the Olympian challenge into the same year, needlessly increases risks'.
