Abstract
This paper looks at the relationship between Chief Constables and police authorities four years after the Police Act 1994. It seeks to explore the concept of managerial accountability which, as a consequence of legislation, replaced electoral accountability as a means of bringing the police to account to the local community. The paper also considers the continuing problem of establishing effective police community links.
