5. What would be the main costs?<br />

Proposals for changing present structures would need to be both affordable and cost effective. (Free<br />

• Recruitment/selection/training/setting of regulations/provision of pension schemes –<br />

for both <strong>Police</strong> officers and staff<br />

• Attracting higher ranks from other forces – might be expensive<br />

• Accommodation – custody facilities will be needed<br />

• IT provision<br />

• Vehicles<br />

• Regulatory changes<br />

• Specialist officers – e.g. firearms (would all officers be firearms trained)<br />

6. Will structural reform be required?<br />
