1066 Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 In the 1970's an ex-police superintendent called Colin Greenwood wrote an excellent book on gun control - he wrote in depth about the variations in costing between different police forces. How some forces, supposedly doing the same job arrived at different figures, often 20-30 times as much as other forces, things like the cost of maintenance and deterioration of the building being factored in and charged to the firearms department. The cost of issuing certificates should be looked at vary carefully by an independent body before accepting their own figures. I note that policing the Eco demonstrations in London a few weeks ago cost £7 million, who pays for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
