Dave has ‘privately’ lobbied to stop closure of police stations in his constituency – good for him – but what about the rest of us ‘Dave’ you seem quite ‘happy’ to lobby saving your own – but the rest doesn’t matter.
He makes an ‘argument’ that there are savings to be made – sorry Dave where have You been for the last 5 years of cutbacks.
There are answers:
Do we need 43 Police Areas in England (Ex Police Authorities)
Do we need 43 PCC (Police & Crime Commissioners)
Do we need 43 Assistant PCC’s
Do we need 43 Personnel Departments
Do we need 43 Chief Constables
I can go on and on, yes there has been a ‘few’ services joined up between Cambs, Herts and Beds, but looking at some of my list there are ‘substantial’ savings to be made and I think these potential savings would more than pay for front line police officers.
