The new system ensured that DNA records wered destroyed if the suspect was not convicted. DNA will be held for 3 years with a possible 2 year extension should they be convicted. Still considered as going 'too far'. 5 of 9 Detention Without Charge Introduced to replace the old system of suspects being held for a maximum of 28 dys without charge. The new system was permanently reduced to 14 days. Has been welcomed by civil liberties groups but they argue it should still go further. Authoritarians criticise it for not being harsh enough. 6 of 9 CCTV Introduced to replace the old system of automatic number plate recognition on cameras that arent subject to any specific regulations. The new system meant that the government promised to further regulate CCTV. 7 of 9 Introduction of Police and Crime Commissioners Introduced in November 2012 Responsible for apponting the chief constable within their force. Set out local policing priorities. Report annually on progress and setting out the force budget and communtiy safety grants. Hold police forces to account. Gives local people more of a voice. Improves the relationship between the community and the police. How successful: only 14% turnout in election - questionable legitimacy Lack of accountability as the public cannot hold them to acocunt Could lead to politicisation od the police. 8 of 9 Coalition Policies on Policing Directly elected police comissioners - labelled as too costly. 20% cuts to police budgets by 2015 - said to be 28000 jobs lost, Labour argues too much too fast. 2 year pay freeze and suspension of bonsues for cheif officers. 9 of 9
