20th July 2010 The Audit Commission, HMIC and the Wales Audit Office, have found that the police in England and Wales could save up to £1 billion (12% of central government funding) without reducing police availability. The report outlines where savings can be made, the impact on the police and public, and likely impact of any further cuts. The joint report - 'Sustaining value for money in the police service' show where savings can be made: breaking down silos with forces working together, and a more efficient match between risk of crime and the number of police on duty to deal with peaks and troughs in demand. Some forces have shown how £270 million could be saved across the service with greater use of civilian staff.
