POLICE must cut crime by 15 per cent and convict thousands more criminals under a new three-year plan.
The Home Office is also setting up a national police improvement agency to get forces to work together and oversee changes in police intelligence systems after the highly critical report by Sir Michael Bichard on the Soham murders.
The agency will have powers to force chief constables to follow national plans and ensure that forces improve their detection rates.
The improvement gency is outlined in a national policing plan issued by the Home Office. It calls on forces to cut the 11.7 million crimes reported annually in the British Crime Survey by more than a million by 2007-08. Police are being told to concentrate on volume crime, including burglary, car crime and street robbery, but also to reduce violent crime and criminal damage.

What exactly do they think that the police have been doing until now? This is just too stupid for words.
