The last major reform to policing in the 1960s modernised our service in ways we at one time would not have thought possible.

We slimmed down from 200 police forces in Britain in 1900 to 43 in England and Wales after 1964 .

Crime has evolved dramatically since then, and we now face new threats such as fraud, riots and terrorism.
