So a detective would be pulled of a hostage case or bank robbery to do beat work????

With regards basically means unless it doesn't make operational sense, the cheif constable should take into account the PA (currently) or commissioner (proposed) policies.
So if the commisioner suggests the police should tackle the vandalism outside the local chip shop by a gang of kids, then the chief constable should then incorporate that into his plans for the police tackling crime.
If the commisioner says "I want the police to monitor paedophiles 24 hours a day" the chief will obviously not do that as it's frankly impractical.
Currently Derbyshire has 17 people on the PA, you think 1 person replacing that will cost more???
God I want that job if it's going to be getting 17 salaries! wow!
Graham, the police do not do checks on people working with children, therefore your claim that police resources would be used is factually incorrect.
Claiming the commisioner would be influenced by political parties, well, out of Derbyshire's 17 members of the PA, only 3 are appointed in a non-politically connected manner!
So currently there's more chance of political meddling!
Gee, lets keep that why don't we?
