Decisions on how the police enforce the law and deploy their available resources, including collaboration arrangements, are the responsibility of individual Chief Officers, taking into account the specific local problems and demands with which they are faced.

The Home Office has therefore not made any assessment of the effect of the withdrawal of West Mercia Police from the Central Motorway Police Group (CMPG) on levels of public safety.
