Rejected petition Stop the Police Officer cuts
More details
The Goverment intend to slash the budgets of the Police. There will be less Officers on the street. They say they have spoken to the Chief Officers who as usual paint a 'rosy' picture. The Goverment should be talking to the troops on the front line to get a true picture. When they do speak to the front line Officers they do it on a surprise visit so no Senior Officer can be primed up by a Senior Officer as to what he should and should not say.
