"There will be no votes in protecting people from organised crime and serial rapists that cross the country because they won't be local and they won't get you votes."

David Cameron's US-style control plans spark anger [Mirror.co.uk - 14 hours ago]

...under any mergers – said senior police figures could not have it both ways by arguing for huge forces with little or no political accountability. "Sir Hugh Orde is entirely right to highlight the huge dangers of a system which would effectively put police constables under political influence or even control. 'What is a total contradiction is the argument now being promoted ... that we need to revive the disastrous and discredited debate over force mergers and the idea of creating a handful of 'superforces',' he said. Orde used the strongest language yet heard from a senior police officer in his attack on the Tory manifesto commitment. 'If one just thinks about that for a moment, the agenda is local policing,' he said. 'There will be no votes in protecting people from terrorism, from organised crime and from serial rapists that cross the country because they won't be local and they won't get you votes.' Police chiefs have opposed the Tory plans ever since they were announced, with two particular events further stoking their fears. Last year, the directly elected Tory mayor of London, Boris Johnson, effectively ousted Sir Ian Blair as Met commissioner just days after becoming chair of the Metropolitan PoliceMetropolitan Police Authority. In September, Johnson's top police aide, Kit Malthouse, used a Guardian interview to announce he and the mayor 'have their hands on the tiller' of Scotland Yard. Orde added: 'Even the perception that the police service of this country ... is under any political influence, I think that suggests you cannot argue that you are a proper democratic society. It's as simple and as stark as that.'We should not be influenced by anyone who has any potential or suggestion for a political basis. 'I would not be surprised to see chief officers not want to be part of a system where they can be told how to deliver policing.' The Tory plans appear to have united all levels of the police service in opposition. The PolicePolice Superintendent's Association warns they will damage the service, while the PolicePolice Federation – which represents rank and file officer – is also opposed.Simon Reed, the federation's vice-chairman, said: 'We have sympathy with what Hugh Orde is saying about the independence of operational policing. It has been the mainstay of policing since 1829.' Liberal Democrat home affairs spokesman Chris Huhne said: 'Sir Hugh Orde was right to highlight the dangers of the Conservatives' plans to politicise the control of the police. 'The last thing British police need is an elected sheriff leading the shootout at the OK Corral. 'Accountability must come from a broad-based police authority elected to represent all strands of the local community.' Neither Chris Grayling, the shadow home secretary, nor anyone from the thinktank Policy Exchange, which supports the proposals, were available for comment. On its website the Tory party says of its plans: 'By introducing directly-elected police commissioners, and by requiring all police forces to publish crime maps and hold quarterly beat meetings, we will enable local communities to hold their police force to account.'"
