less police as budget is reduced!!!!

Police staff and volunteers should be given stronger powers so they can take over roles currently performed by uniformed constables, the home secretary has said, as forces brace themselves for a new round of deep spending cuts.

Theresa May announced her plan to give chief constables much greater flexibility in the way they use their officers and staff after warning forces that reduced police budgets will likely mean even fewer police officers.

Speaking at the police superintendents’ annual conference, May told police leaders not to succumb to the temptation of scaremongering over the impact of the next wave of spending cuts.

The accusation that police chiefs are already “shroud-waving” in advance of this autumn’s round of spending cuts was however strongly rejected by Sara Thornton, the chair of the National Police Chiefs’ Council.

All unprotected government departments, including the Home Office, last week submitted outlined plans to the Treasury how they might achieve 25% and 40% reductions in their budgets by 2020.

Don't you people understand that the few pennies coming back into your pockets as your right-wing leaders slash public spending will allow you to hire your own bodyguards?
