Their actions in recommending these cuts while not offering to sacrifice any of their own members interest go to show just how self-serving they are. <br /><br />Posted by Ashley WilceCrime Analysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13625925803753107945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3307739442406722533.post-75834317803441381342010-09-18T03:32:41.123-07:002010-09-18T03:32:41.123-07:00They largely keep the spreadsheet that would tell ...They largely keep the spreadsheet that would tell us the real spending secret. Something as radical as a salary cap at £60K and a pay cut on a sliding scale of 5 to 15% across the board is needed, along with pension decimation. The on-costs of redundancy and pensions are scary. Something like this would at least retain numbers.<br />This is problematic though, as there are further on-costs in courts, lawyers and prisons if cops do their job, especially if unleashed to do so.<br />I suspect the government wants much lower police numbers to "keep crime down" by rationing response and will thus keep ACPO to rule over this.<br />Uneasy as I am with it, cops are overpaid and dismally organised and I don't think this is a 'mistake'.

(1) They are so obviously protecting their own necks from the chopping block and (2) as many of them are already close to the end of their service, does it really matter?<br />I think you could say that was an excellent example of "Sod you jack, I'm alright"!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
