Police Reform and Social Responsibility Bill 2010

24th of May 2010

A new Police Reform and Social Responsibility Bill is to be introduced in the autumn according to leaked details of the Queen's speech.

The proposed Bill is seen as the vehicle for making police forces more accountable – including oversight by what ministers refer to as a directly elected "individual". Police must also publish monthly local crime data statistics. - and a fresh crackdown on anti-social behaviour and alcohol-related violence.
