It offers some conclusions on what the experienc;e has to say about the nature of our commitment to the local governance and accountability of the police service, how the position of police authorities within the tripartite structure has been affected by what has happened and how police authorities might be better prepared in future to assert their position on behalf of local communities and to counter continuing centripetal political, managerial and professional pressures for ever larger and ever more remote organisational structures. - Reproduced.  aPolice  aPolice Journal
