well i thought i had my mind made up but since speaking to some (police) colleagues on the policies for the police im confused again.
am about to become a police officer. im already a special constable.
i had decided on a lib dem vote if any, but they are saying they will reform the terms and conditions of the police without actually saying what this means. speaking to colleagues they think this sounds ominous and that they will be looking to save money, although they have pledged another 3000 police nationally (which isnt much really in the great scheme of things)
Tories have pledged cuts.
Labour have pledged no cuts (at least until 2012 or something??)
so now totally confused again. could do with other police personnel opinions if any are about. (dont think a tory vote would be good for the PCSO's, but also think that pcso's would be better utilised as PCs as more police powers at their disposal)
really just wondered if there are any other police officers about what your thinking is...
ta in advance.
