Number of police forces to be
The number of police forces in England and Wales will be slashed from 43 to 24 under new plans announced by Home Secretary Charles Clarke.
He revealed the latest plans to create a police "super force" in the East Midlands, merging five existing constabularies.
Two further massive new forces will be created in the east of England out of six existing county forces, while Surrey and Sussex will also combine.
Kent, Hampshire and Thames Valley have won a reprieve and will remain as they are.
Mr Clarke said in a written statement to MPs: "My vision for the police service in the 21st century is that it should be close, responsive and accountable to the communities it serves, supported by larger forces with the capacity and specialist expertise to protect the public from wider threats such as serious and organised crime."
The police authorities have until April 7 to respond, after which Mr Clarke will make a final decision.
He has the power to force the changes through even if local police bosses disapprove.
A report by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary concluded last year that smaller forces were ill-equipped to deal with terrorism and serious crime.
The Association of Police Authorities has strongly criticised the way Mr Clarke has carried out the merger plans, accusing him of using bribes to get forces to agree.
They also estimate the full package of mergers across England and Wales will cost more than £1 billion.
A decision on mergers has yet to be made in the South West and in the Yorkshire and Humber region.
