Sussex Police was charged extra by Reliance Secure Task Management after detaining more prisoners in their custody centres than was agreed in a £90 million Private Finance Initiative (PFI) deal. The force had to pay out for six consecutive years after the number of detainees rose sharply. But since then the number of arrests made by Sussex Police has fallen sharply.

He would not be drawn over a controversial call to give forces the power to fire officers of all ranks.
