The thin blue line will be getting thinner with the cuts proposed by the Coalition Government. In response to cuts in Government Grant, Derbyshire is set to cut Police numbers by 300 staff including 178 Officers. The propaganda about protecting front line staff has been seen to be an utter fabrication.
What is even more spurious is that it will save money. All that it will do is push the costs of crime on to the public. Costs will not just disappear. Not only will the public suffer from more crime but they will face increased insurance costs as well, adding insult to injury.
The Coalition intend to have less prison places, less courts and less Police Officers. Soft on crime and soft on the causes of crime, that should be the Coalition motto.
If you add to that the proposals to turn off street lights in the late evening you have the biggest invite to criminality ever perpetrated by any Government.
The one thing you can be sure of is that the cuts in Police will increase "private sector" jobs amongst the criminal fraternity.
