re: Hampshire police force shedding 1400 staff
Here's a handy link about this story.
Quote:
Hampshire Constabulary plans to axe 1,400 posts - 20% of its workforce - including police officers.
Forces are facing government cuts of 25%, with Hampshire reducing its budget by £70m (25%) over the next four years.
The job losses will see redundancies, positions left unfilled, redeployments and voluntary redundancies.
Unions are to discuss the plans, which will go before the police authority. Southampton MP Alan Whitehead said the government was "letting people down".
The force, which employs about 6,700 staff, also plans to share and sell buildings and increase collaboration with other forces, especially Thames Valley.
