Scotland is to have a single police force replacing the current 8. This major shake-up will save money and help reduce crime. The SNP is supported in this move by the Labour and Conservative parties. A government spokesman said: "This government has delivered 1,000 additional officers to make our communities safer - helping drive crime to a 32-year low in Scotland - and our priority isto protect that strong frontline police presence. "It is precisely because of those 1,000 additional officers that Scotland's police forces were able to deploy officers to help their English counterparts at short notice last week, for example, and we are committed to maintaining those numbers despite budget cuts from Westminster."
