Rejected petition Petition for the UK to have a Police Force not a Police Service

More details

After the recent rioting and the reaction of the public in support of the police it is now time that we have a police force, not a service.
We need a police force that doesn't have to do a risk assessment before intervening or spend 8 hours filling in forms after arresting someone. Reduce the admin, give the police back their power and instil respect for them once again.
