Government of government spending review There is a “huge shock” for the struggling forces to recruit 13,000 neighborhood officials promised to the police, police leaders have warned.
Chairman of Council of national police chiefs (NPCC) said Rachel Reeves plans For an average increase in police expenses per year, it will cover slightly more than the salary increase of inflation for existing officers and employees, equivalent to £ 2BN.
Meanwhile an estimated £ 1.2 billion black hole in police funding It will continue to grow, Chief Constable Gavin Stephens warned.
He insisted that in a decade, the focus on policing has been focused on meeting women and girls and knives against crime of the government on meeting the vows of the ambitious manifesto of the government, but admitted that there would be progress in the difficult funding colony.
Chief Constable Paul Sanford, chairman of the NPCC Finance Committee, warned that it would be “incredibly difficult” to fulfill the government’s pledge for the recruitment of 13,000 additional neighborhood officers, PCSOs and special constables.
Home Secretary Yvet Cooper promised a nominated, contact officer to each community as part of his neighborhood policing guarantee last November. About 3,000 officers have been recruited so far.
CC Sanford said: “We will work incredibly hard with the house office, which is more and more required as recruitment, which is possible in the next years, but based on this disposal, this is a real challenge for us.”
He also warned that the forces have trusted borrowing money to balance the forces and the cost of the loan is expected to increase by 49 percent in the next three years.
After reviewing David Gauk’s sentence, there is no additional funds to help the police to manage more criminals required to serve their sentences in the community under the schemes given by the Ministry of Justice.
The Superintendent of Police Association (PSA) president Nick Smart described the spending review as a “huge blow” for policing and claimed that the decline is “the ability to risk public safety”.
He said: “Many election vows of the government were focused around a commitment to ‘safe roads’, promising the public that this knife would meet ambitious goals such as reducing crime.
“Still the lack of investment announced today means that we will continue to struggle to give the basics, to maintain the officer’s number, cover the costs of inflation, to cover the payment awards, and serve as tasks, let them move forward on new public safety and change initiatives alone.
“The leaders representing every part of the police task force are united today, stating the truth of policing, saying that increased, long -term investment and once again, we have been ignored by the government.”
Keeping in mind the funding challenges, he said that around the “should be negotiated” where the police can start saying “not” when other services change them for support, saying: “We may not be a clinging plaster of society while staggering other services.”
The National President of the Police Federation, Tiff Lynch accused the Chancellor of failing to listen to the police officers or the Home Secretary for a review.
He said: “This expenditure review should be a significant turn after 15 years of penance, which has given up policing, and the police officers have broken.
“Instead, the cut will continue and it is the public who will pay the price.
“Kit for night duty this evening as rank-end-filing officers, knowing that they stand in the priorities of the government.
“This is beyond insulting the cabinet ministers to call the police to call ‘your bit’, when the authorities are overwork, are underpaid, and in danger as before.
“They are facing blades and bricks, managing mental health crises, struggling to protect their own, and every day taking away trauma and financial stress with them.”
The union, which represents 145,000 rank and file officials, claims that the actual words have declined by more than 20 percent since 2010, while the number of offenses allotted to each officer has increased by one third.
Combined leadership for the Finance of Roger Hall and Joy Alan, the police and crime commissioners for funding for the Union, agreed that the agreement to meet government goals to reduce crime is not enough.
Mr. Hirst warned that the forces of some areas would have to rely on the tax hike to maintain the officer number, while Ms. Allen said that the lack of capital investment is struggling with the old digital infrastructure to many forces, with aging buildings and vehicle fleet.
Ms. Reeves has said that she believes that “everyone really wants to get what a review of Wednesday’s spending”, but insisted that the force can meet the government’s manifesto commitments.
Asked about the concerns raised by policing data, he told the BBC: “I believe that not everyone is able to do what they want in review of this expenditure.”
He said: “We are not able to do everything that everyone would like, but spending real-term increases power for 2.3 percent of the police, above inflation, we are able to fulfill the commitments we in our manifesto.”
