That officers cannot cut crime without the public's co-operation has come to be seen as the basic principle of policing in a democratic society. The British government believes that cherished relationship has broken down. The men and women in blue have become divorced from local concerns, the thinking goes, too controlled by Whitehall and too dismissive of the low-level yobbery that blights many lives. So a bill currently making its way through Parliament would dramatically change how and by whom the police are held to account. At the moment each force answers to a Police Authority, an appointed body comprising councillors and others, which sets local priorities and a local policing levy, and hires and fires the chief constable (who otherwise enjoy "operational independence"). The Home Office approves those appointments, sets national strategy and determines cash grants. Under the government's plan, from May 2012 the authorities will be replaced by elected police and crime commissioners--one for each of the 41 police-force areas in England and Wales outside London--who will in effect inherit the authorities' powers.
