Police cuts
« Miscellaneous | Back to most recent briefing | Russian spy ring »
On whether people should expect police numbers to fall, the PMS replied that the Prime Minister had said the Government wanted to do all it could to keep police officers on the streets. However, as the priority was cutting the Budget deficit and reducing Government spending, the police would have to bear a fair share of the burden.
Asked whether the burden would fall more heavily on Community Support Officers rather than police officers, the PMS replied that people should wait for the Home Secretary’s speech. Discussions would continue with the police leading up to the Spending Review.
