Cumbria’s PCC backs a national police service for serious crime but opposes nationalizing road policing to preserve local effectiveness.
Cumbria’s Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner David Allen supports the UK government’s plan to create a National Police Service to combat serious crime and security threats by merging agencies like the National Crime Agency and Counter Terrorism Policing, but opposes centralizing roads policing.
He argues that traffic enforcement must remain local to maintain effective, community-focused operations such as Operation Colossus and Operation Limit, which rely on local knowledge and responsiveness, especially in rural areas.
Allen believes nationalizing road policing would harm service quality and accountability despite potential gains in strategic efficiency.
