Beds and Herts collaboration continues
A groundbreaking joint firearms support unit for Bedfordshire Police and Hertfordshire Constabulary was launched last week with the aim of cracking down on gun crime (July 1).
The unit follows the successful setting up of a joint dog unit, professional standards department and scientific services unit in April, and the launch of the Beds and Herts Major Crime Unit in 2007.
