Not being funny but they havnt actually said they will be cutting front line services have they (unless I missed something) I would assume there are plenty of paper-pushing backroom staff that could\would go before the guys\gals on the street are pushed onto the dole\made redundant\take redundancy voluntarily.
Also if the present government keep their promise of cutting paperwork & red tape that the police have to deal with in relation to a crime, by streamlining that part of the work would allow an officer to get back on the street quicker therefore there would be room to cut some front line officers as well as backroom staff so in effect crime shouldnt go up even if less police were employed by the said force.
Hope that makes some sense
