Dorset Police has entered into a strategic alliance with Devon & Cornwall Police.

The two forces will now decide on what services they can benefit from either by shared services, outsourcing or collaborating internally.

According to a freedom of information (FOI) request submitted there are 27 business areas that will benefit from this partnership, including ICT & Information Management functions and back office administration. This alliance will save money, help improve efficiency and allow some re-investment.
