Cumbria的警察联合会支持可能的合并,以削减官僚作风,加强一线治安,等待财政批准。 Cumbria’s police federation backs potential merger to cut bureaucracy and boost frontline policing, pending financial approval.

Cumbria警察联合会(Cumbria Police Federation Federation)可以支持与邻邦部队的合并,如果它能减少官僚作风,并将储蓄再投资于一线警务,这与内政大臣沙巴纳·马哈穆德(Shabana Mahmood)关于将英格兰和威尔士43支警察部队合并为12支大警察部队的提议是一致的。 The Cumbria Police Federation may back a merger with a neighboring force if it reduces bureaucracy and reinvests savings into frontline policing, aligning with Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood’s proposal to consolidate England and Wales’ 43 police forces into about 12 larger ones. 虽然联合会主席埃德·拉塞尔支持如果能集中后台职能并保留地方警务，则支持该方案，但警察、消防和犯罪专员戴夫·艾伦反对，理由是由于市政税水平不同导致的财政差异，并警告资金上存在“邮编彩票”。 While federation chairman Ed Russell supports the idea if it centralizes back-office functions and preserves local policing, Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Dave Allen opposes it, citing financial disparities due to differing council tax levels and warning of a “postcode lottery” in funding. 最后决定将取决于财务可行性和金库监督。 The final decision will depend on financial feasibility and Treasury oversight.
