The Strategic Review of Policing in England and Wales examined how crime, fear of crime and other threats to public safety are changing and assessed the ability of the police to respond.

This far-reaching independent review, the first of its kind in many years, was chaired by Sir Michael Barber and hosted by the Police Foundation. It aims to set a long term strategic direction for the police service so that it is better able to tackle crime in an age where it is being transformed by new technology and wider social change. The final report of Strategic Review of Policing sets out substantial recommendations for a modern police service capable of meeting the challenges of the 21st century.
