Force Budget 2002-2003

We advised you that we had written to all the members of the Police Committee expressing our concerns regarding a budget shortfall. All members replied, some very supportive of out view. I also spoke personally with the Committee Chairman, James JERRAM C.B.E.  Mr JERRAM was helpful and sympathetic to our view.

Following deliberation at Police Committee it was decided upon a 1% increase over last years budget and to use a surplus of £1m to cover increased costs. This means NO cuts in police strength and no freezing of police vacancies. Please do not underestimate the role the federation played in these delicate negotiations.
