Police Funding Cuts, Buried In Other News
Today the Home Office announced the amount of funding going to each and every Police Force in the country.
With a reduction of £100 million, there will be cuts in the number of Police Officers and early indications indicate that around forty officers from each constituency will be lost. At a recent speech to all Councillors at The Council House, Chief Police Constable, Chris Simms said "We need to talk more, local authorities have not said what they are going to do with their budgets"
Birmingham's Labour party stance has been all along that cuts to Police funding will lead to excessive Police cuts and support staff as PCSO's, which in itself will lead to an increase in crime and victims of crime.
Shame on all those who support Police Cuts by the Coalition Government.
