My son works in a police office and it is shared by THREE teams, luckily there hours are different, you tell me how police officers can work in an enviroment where there is only six computers to work on, and how the hell can police do there jobs properly in cramped conditions.

I have been in loads of offices through my working career and they have all been spacious.

But if you work in a police environment where you need room to move, when the police service announce there strategy for the years up to 2015. You will have LESS police officers on the streets, less police stations open - most of station officers will be moved to supermarkets, which are not open 24hrs per day, post offices the same.

You cannot run the police service like that, you have vulnerable people out there that need contact - yes there is 101 or the 999 service.

To me this is sheer vengeance by the government to cut to the bone a police service - that years ago you could tell the time by on your local beat copper, and now you won't be able to rely on any police officer being there when there needed.

I spoke to a police officer quite recently and he told me that this is the government getting back at them for what happened a few years ago when the police federation had fierce words over certain procedures and objected to government intervention.

And this is the way the government are getting back at them.
