'Burnham is a VERY FINE mayor' says Manchester police chief as he praises Mahmood's police reform

The chief constable of Greater Manchester Police has welcomed plans for an overhaul of policing, saying the move was 'a long time coming'. He also praised the Home Secretary for taking 'the bull by the horns' by announcing the changes. Reacting to Shabana Mahmood's proposals, which include slashing the number of police forces and creating a new National Police Service (NPS) to tackle major crimes, Sir Stephen Watson said: "I think the Home Secretary has properly taken the bull by the horns. These are bold announcements in respect of the reform which to policing is literally decades in the coming." He said the current system, with 43 forces accountable to 43 people, was 'not efficient or effective'. Sir Stephen added: "I applaud the home secretary's courage in bringing forward what are bold proposals. I don't think it before time, and I think that when we talk in the language of once in a lifetime, generational, transformational change in policing. That is precisely what this is, and that, for me, is very exciting, and certainly it is due."
