However, the risk of going too local is you end up with a situation like the USA, where there are a multiplicity of competing layers, juristictions and forces, each one pretty much a law unto themselves. Criminal organisations can also exploit those geographical limits to escape detection and apprehension. What we really need is not so much to break and redesign the system, as to improve oversight of what we already have. Plus bringing it back down to a more local level (as it used to be) with "officers on the beat", local stations and community involvement. |  |
