    Phone 0161 604 7711 Email [email protected] Rt Hon Mike Penning MP Via email 15 September 2015 Dear Mike, I am writing in response to the recently issued ‘Consultation on reform of police funding’. The outcome of this consultation is critical for the sustainability of the modern police service and one which we must get right. I did write to the Home Secretary on 24 July requesting further information and was disappointed not to receive a response or the requested exemplifications. This lack of information coupled with the short consultation time scales and the timing of the release over the summer, while Parliament is in recess, has prevented me from making an informed response thus undermining the consultation process. I would be grateful if you would consider issuing the exemplifications requested and re-starting the consultation process to allow for an informed and transparent exchange with those in the police service to take place. In the absence of exemplifications I have asked my office to calculate the potential impact of the proposed model on Greater Manchester Police using the data sources quoted in the consultation document. Our best estimates show that Greater Manchester Police would lose £52m (12.7%) per annum under the proposed model. Other police areas have estimated losses of up to 20% and, when coupled with the impact of the impending Spending Review, cuts at these levels could call in to question the viability of a sustainable policing service in Greater Manchester and other areas. Furthermore, I note that the combined impact of cuts that will impact on demand on policing from the Spending Review to the Home Office and other Government departments has not been addressed in these proposals.

    City of Richmond Report to Committee To: General Purposes Committee Date: March 28, 2021 From: Cecilia Achiam File: 09-5355-00Nol 01 General Manager, Community Safety Re: BC Police Act Reform Staff Recommendation That the feedback set out in the staffreport titled "BC Police Act Reform", dated March 28, 2021, fromthe General Manager of Community Safety, be approved for submission to Special Committee on Reforming the Police Act. chiam General Manager, Community Safety (604-276-4122) REPORT CONCURRENCE SENIOR STAFF REPORT REVIEW 7 A0LY� It�.., 6649966 GP - 84 March 28, 2021 - 2 - Staff Report Origin Under the Constitution Act section 91 (27) the Federal Government has the authority to create criminal laws and criminal procedures. Provincial Governmentshave broad constitutional authority forthe administration of justice and policing per section 92 (14 ). In British Columbia (BC) the Province captures this authorityover policing in the Police Act. Introduced in 1974, the Police Act sets the goals, mandate, and standards for the ministry to oversee effective policing in BC. However, this act has not undergone a comprehensive review since its inception. In response to a growing tide of socio-political and economic protest movements centred on issues of police funding, structural racism, and mental health and wellness checks, the Province announced the formation of the Legislative Assembly Special Committee (Special Committee) on Refonning the Police Act on July 8, 2020. Prior to the delivery of its finalreport to the House on May 14, 2021, the Special Committeehas launched a public consultation campaign. Of note, all submissions to the Special Committee will be made public and must be made prior to April 30 via a website submission.
