when you consider the departments to be chopped down (I mean rationalised)ie
Training Schools (police)
Driver Training
IT
Comms
Various Admin Depts (pay, personnel, crime management, stats etc)
not to mention the savings on 3 Chief Constables cars.. ha.!
Maybe, just maybe, with the extra savings incurred by rationalisation of other departments, ie major organisational departments going from 4 separate entities down to one, the extra cash may be there for an extra a/c in N. yorks..!! and the new "super force" can run 4 Explorers..?? havent N. Yorks been researching running a helicopter in recent times..
If not, then I wouldnt mind betting on a move back over the water for Humberside to cover N. Yorks too...
