Cuts. The Government demands cuts.
I don’t know why the media buys into their framing so readily when it’s obvious to everyone they’re slashing services to give hand outs to the wealthy
“Celebrate our most successful” was the newspeak bullshit they were peddling last time.
Send them to Northern Territory Australia,
Crimes fucked and they’re so understaffed.
What is their corporate support? Is that, like, the people who answer the phone when you need to update their files on developments?
It’ll most likely mean the people running stuff in the background. payroll, asset management and purchasing, IT staff, etc.
These people will have an impact on ‘crime fighting’, but marginally. Eg. If there’s a problem with payroll it might mean the police officers are paid a day or two late. Or maybe office supplies aren’t kept well stocked in station.
But it might also be anyone who’s not an “officer”. So police station support/maintenance, mechanics, analysts (people who help the police analyse gathered intelligence), 111 operators, etc.
This would probably have significant impacts on ‘crime fighting’. 500 extra police isn’t going to be as effective if police cars are broken, intelligence isn’t accurate, or there’s a wait time on 111.
Thanks for the explanation! Sounds like the devil’s in the details, we’ll have to wait and see.
