Police Reform Taskforce
David Cameron has made police reform a priority for the Conservative Party. In July 2007 David Cameron made David Ruffley the Shadow Minister for Police Reform with responsibility for the Police Reform Taskforce. This website and the interim report of the Taskforce build on the direction set out in two keynote speeches by David Cameron and sets out proposals for further consultation.
The Taskforce has no formal membership. Our report is the product of hundreds of discussions and meetings over the course of the last year with police officers of all ranks, including field visits to various forces, as well as all those with an interest and expertise in policing – officials, think tanks, academics, police authorities, and above all the public. We have also been informed by a large volume of letters and e-mails, especially from serving officers.
Our promise to the public
The public will benefit from localised policing which is more responsive to their concerns, giving them a real voice and control to ensure the safety of their communities. Police officers will be returned to the streets where the public want to see them.
Our promise to the police
The police will be released to do the job they want to do, consistent with the Conservative Party’s key theme of trusting professionals. Central interference will be minimised, professional discretion will be restored, and committed officers will be rewarded for their success.
