Now I knw why I haven't seen my old Unit ( West Midlands ) flying
( around the West Midlands ) very much since Retiring !
Pre NPAS Budget spend was £1,731,654, ( Budget of £1,700,000 )
and is now £167,146 ( 9.65% ) less, although I understand that
in at least the first year post NPAS it cost them more.
What doesn't leap out from those costs is that prior to NPAS,
that budget paid for
1400 Hours.
So,
less than a 10% "saving" has resulted in a
reduction of 847 hours
to just 553 hours -
a reduction in Police Air Support
over the West Midlands Force area
of 60.5 % ! ! !
Never mind vague and indeterminate allegations of sexual assault
by Members of Parliament, what about the FACT that Police Air Support
has been well and truly (
) "Shafted" by them ? !
