Home Secretary claims that policing is ‘postcode lottery’
Grimsby Telegraph
|November 20, 2025
POLICING in England and Wales is “a postcode lottery” and the 43-force structure is “irrational”, the Home Secretary has said.
-
Shabana Mahmood told a major policing conference in Westminster that critical functions like the air service and vetting have been loaded on to the 43 geographical forces, diverting their attention from neighbourhood policing.
A white paper is due to be published in the coming weeks outlining government plans for police reform, with forces facing a £1.2 billion budget shortfall.
