Senior copper from Manchester on the PM programme on R4 explaining how he's had to step in and top up G4's security shortfall at a hotel by providing 28 pcs and 4 sergeants at an extra cost of £30,000 a day.
Now if he means 32 coppers on duty 24 hours a day that means, say c100 coppers, but he didnt say that.
So where does he get a figure of £30k a day - that's not far shy of £1k/per day/per plod? Now I know the police are overpaid, but a grand a day?
