		West Mercia Constabulary has one of the largest geographical areas in the UK (80 miles north-south and 50 miles east-west), covering the counties of Shropshire, Hereford and Worcester, an area encompassing a population of 1.1 million, 420,000 dwellings and 8500 road miles.
		West Mercia has devolved budget responsibility with virement (the ability to transfer underspending on one budget head to allow overspending on another) and the ability to carry forward a surplus which arises from savings.
		The West Mercia experience suggests that, to be promoted, officers need to return from a HQ to an operational role, whilst maintaining a commitment to the principles of accountability and "rational management".

		West Mercia is a low crime area, and it is wrong to fear crime in my constituency to the same extent as in London.
		The urban area that the West Midlands authority currently serves has a different set of problems, and I am delighted that the West Mercia constabulary remains separate, able to serve the larger rural areas of Shropshire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire, and to have people, such as me, speaking up for its concerns.
		The West Midlands, Gloucestershire and Warwickshire police all receive the area cost adjustment but are fishing in exactly the same labour pool as the West Mercia constabulary.
