 BBC - Cumbria - Features - Merging police forces – what's your view?
No forces were named in the report, but as Cumbria Constabulary has only 1270 officers it is one of the smaller authorities in England and could face a re-organisation in the future.
Cumbria police are pretty hopeless though and spend too much of their time and effort targetting easy 'crimes' such as speeding which are of little importance to the wider community.
Cumbria Constabulary's obsession with speed cameras has given drink-drivers (and other law-breakers) the confidence that they won't be caught if they observe speed limits...Lancashire taking control of Cumbrian police can't come soon enough.

CUMBRIA County Council is urging Home Secretary Charles Clarke to scrap plans to merge Cumbria Constabulary with other police forces.
It has told Cumbria Constabulary that the most likely outcome is that it will merge with Lancashire or Lancashire and Merseyside.
Councillors meeting yesterday voted unanimously to write to Mr Clarke, urging him to leave Cumbria Constabulary as it is. They argued that the merger would lead to Cumbrian police officers being sent out of the county and the loss of civilian jobs at police HQ in Penrith.

CUMBRIA police chiefs have been told by the Government to work on plans to merge with other forces, a move which is likely to see the small Cumbrian force merged into a larger police force.
Ministers called the briefing after a report by HM Inspectorate of Constabulary said that the 43-force structure was no longer suitable for modern policing.
We will do this by ensuring Cumbria Constabulary is an equal partner in any proposal - we are not being taken over; by ensuring that all staff have an equal opportunity to apply for jobs in new structures and wider opportunities to develop; and by putting in place the necessary mechanisms to support staff.

CUMBRIA’S most senior police officer, Michael Baxter, may be in the unique position of being the last chief constable of the county’s force as we know it.
She said it was “far too early” to say what a merged structure would look like, what force Cumbria could be merged with and where chief officers might be based.
The plans suggest the structure of grass-roots policing in Cumbria would not be changed, with the county still being divided into command areas, each with its own local teams.
