00:00Well, so far we await the details. We've seen lots of spin, very little detail thus far.
00:04We want to make sure that anything that comes forward that sees this top-down reform doesn't
00:10cost us in terms of community policing and local policing. The fact that this is going to go on
00:15for a decade leaves a lot of uncertainty about what our police forces can expect, but actually
00:21this is a huge distraction from Labour's record on crime and policing. They're 18 months in,
00:26they've taken 1,300 police officers off the front line. This year police forces across
00:32the country are facing a £500 million shortfall. We're seeing prisoners released early onto
00:39our streets and it's no surprise that everyday crimes like shoplifting are surging up 13%
00:45in a year, record highs on shoplifting. It's all going the wrong way.
