Well I for one think that this is about costs, and to be honest I may not be a tory lover I do think that the public sector needs trimming, NPAS may be the step in the right direction, for one I may get a job flying the helicopters and two I have a feeling that policemen are trying to protect their own nice little numbers, why should it be a pc in the helicopter? I think that reducing the pay will put police officers off this post and get more back on the street where they belong, there are plenty of civilians who could do this job just fine, the CCTV operators in city centres etc can do a good job on a camera so with little training they would be fine I am sure. Lets get more feet on the beat
