http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-surrey-27616990 About 500 jobs could go at Surrey Police due to budget cuts, the county's Police and Crime Commissioner says. Kevin Hurley said the force would have to save £30m out of its £200m budget, with wages forming a large part. The former chief superintendent said the force had already closed "most" of its police stations to "make the books balance". A Home Office spokeswoman said the force would still have the resources it needs. According to my wickisources Surrey have 1974 officers. So losing 500, thats pretty apocalyptic. But as the home office say the force will have the resources it needs. If they can police more …

Well, Philip Davies hit the nail on the head, whoever let the bloke out was a 'berk.' Also how does 13 life sentences boil down to 8 years?

The then chief constable ordered the closure of the gates at Saltley in the face of concerted union action as he believed this was in the best interests of public order.

An MSP has raised concerns about armed officers supporting colleagues on routine duties such as dispersing late night crowds leaving pubs and clubs. John Finnie said officers were regularly carrying handguns, including in the Highlands and Islands, an area dubbed one of the safest in the UK. Police Scotland said armed response officers have been "routinely armed" since the launch of the force in 2013. A senior officer said they had a role in keeping people safe. Independent Highlands and Islands MSP and former police officer Mr Finnie said he was "concerned greatly" by the situation. He said before the launch of the new single police force in April last year, armed o…
