The Home Office does not publish impact assessments relating to police office closures.

It is up to Chief Constables and directly elected Police and Crime Commissioners to make decisions on local resourcing and estates, including police stations. They are best placed to make these decisions based on their local knowledge and experience.

Police stations are just one of the ways people can access their local police services including reporting online and by phone 24/7.
