Policing is a reserved matter for the UK Government, and we are taking forward a significant programme of police reform across England and Wales.

We will continue to work closely with the new Welsh Government, Welsh Policing and others on our reforms and to ensure that a new model for police governance works for Wales. We recognise the importance of working collaboratively where delivery depends on devolved services and partnerships.
