Metropolitan Police chief Sir Mark Rowley is set to warn that policing in England and Wales is heading for failure without urgent reform. He proposes replacing the current 43-force structure with eight to ten regional forces, hundreds of local commands and a new National Police Service to handle the most serious crimes.
