Poorly performing police forces to be named and shamed under new plans

Home Office to set targets for response times and victim satisfaction as home secretary takes powers to intervene directly

Police forces will face new targets for crime fighting and those performing poorly will be named and shamed under government plans to take sweeping powers over law enforcement.

The new plans come as part of changes to policing in England and Wales to be announced on Monday by the home secretary, Shabana Mahmood. The Home Office claims the reforms are the biggest in two centuries.
