Policing targets dropped

In case anyone missed it!

More on this tomorrow, if there's time. At the moment, suffice to say I have very mixed feelings about this news. My interest is primarily in the confidence target, and on the one hand it was always somewhat strange to have a performance target so closely tied to a (highly imperfect) measure of public opinion.

On the other hand, public confidence should be very important to the police and politicians, for lots of good reasons. But if there is no target attached, will anyone really care about it?

Like I say, more tomorrow.
