This Report was submitted to the National Assembly for Wales’s Communities, Equality and Local Government Committee, in response to its inquiry into the impact of public spending cuts on the Welsh police forces, specifically:
- The impact of public spending cuts on frontline policing;
- Details about the Welsh police force’s reform programme designed to
improve efficiency and reduce costs; and - The implications for local communities and community safety policy in Wales.
The majority of the information presented relates to the impact of the public spending cuts on community safety partnerships (CSPs). The WLGA is aware of and supportive of the evidence that has been submitted by the Police Authorities of Wales and endorses their key messages in relation to the future funding of policing.
