UK plans to create 'British FBI' to bring national investigations under single police force

2. Policing in England & Wales can be improved.

With two tier local authorities going away, being replaced with unitary authorities... It makes sense to have Police England, like Scotland has Police Scotland. There should be a Heddlu De Cymru, English regional police, the London Metropolitan Police remains - and certain aspects get nationalised into a national police force. In any case a lot of the police forces in the UK often call on the Metropolitan police for their expertise so to formalise this arrangement makes sense.

I wouldn't call it English FBI though.

But yeah this is IMO a step in the right direction.

The UK does have one police force that serves the whole of the UK - the British Transport Police.
