So let’s have an 86 force structure. Or a 129 force such.

I don’t recall anyone suggesting that that rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic would have improved it’s buoyancy after the iceberg,..
It’s already obvious (local) plod can’t even tackle oldfashioned crime…
What makes them think they can upgrade to “modern” crime?
Unless it’s Hurtywords™ on the Interwebz.. Then they’re down on you in a flash and a Show of Force.
Local forces would have more chance of tackling ‘modern crime’ if they stopped defining ‘modern crime’ as eg ‘X said a man couldn’t be a woman’ on the internet.
That would free up 60% of most forces.
Judges being free to sentence actual, serious criminals to punishing, mind-bending jail time would take some of the pressure off, too.
Even our shit police know who the real crims are – they just can’t do much about them, and it’s not because of their local nature.
It’s unclear why bundling the same mostly scruffy lard-arsed tattooed jobsworth simpleton coppers making up – what?- 80% of them into bigger groups is likely to change any of that.
All it is likely to do is to give the next Craig Guildford and his enablers a bigger and nastier train set to play with.

…which would be nice, if the modern judiciary weren’t merely the bewigged branch of “Our Party”.
They’re not all. I know two judges very well. Both politically sound – one at least would be to the right of most people on here. They both sentence to the absolute limit, and are often appealed (the appeals rarely succeed). They’d like more leeway, but having eschewed the Bar, where they were earning considerably more money, they want to stick it out. Lots of their colleagues (they tell me) are very wet, though – I know this won’t be a surprise.
Let’s do more of what didn’t work before says politician.
When I complained that the Nationalist Socialists had centralised the Scottish police to just one force, somebody corrected me. The move was actually made by the earlier government of Marxist Socialists.
It’s interesting that the “devout Muslim” (her description of herself) has not been mentioned in the lily livered Plod scandal of Craig Guildford retiring instead of being sacked and stripped of his pension.
We don’t have local police forces. Ours is headquartered 50 miles away.
“Modern crime” presumably includes grooming/rape gangs. That is surely pretty local?
She’s talking about Muslim rape gangs right? Right?
Local policing ended when Chief Constables decided it was more effecient for coppers to sit in police cars scoffing hamburgers, despite the public saying they didn’t want efficiency, they wanted to see plod on the beat.
It was downhill from then as more and more senior officers came from the generations that sat in police cars and behind desks.
The rate of decline accelerated when they became a police service not a police force and the feminisation of our institutions took hold at a senior level and DEI took precedence over catching and jailing criminals.
