Thanks for your considered reply Handysnacks.
My thoughts are that a joined up and coordinated service is the way forward.
I am not anti police ops just anti waste of money.
I thought the original police model where they leased time on basic 206's 20 years ago was cost effective.
The trouble is once you start to take operations in house the costs go through the roof.
Twin turbine helicopters plus support are very expensive.
How would you allocate the money.
