earlier, danny spoke to chief superintendent gavin thomas, president of the police superintendents‘ associationl conference, and began by asking him if the nao report chimed with their own observations about police cuts. very much so. i think the report confirms two key thing is the first is this is a funding formula assessed in 2015 by the government and is not fit for purpose yet we are still using the formula which effectively places an emphasis on locally raised money to deliver policing in communities. that is fine, but we know policing is facing new demands in this century, which do not respect force boundaries, nor national jurisdictions. do not respect force boundaries, nor nationaljurisdictions. this money is not going international strategic priorities policing desperately needs. the second thing the report says to me and something i will speak about a conference is it emphasised the fact the home office have not got an overview. there is no one in the policing system with a strategic overview, what i would call the wiring diagram of policing in terms of where the funding is the conse
