NSW Police numbers to be cut

[FPV+fteT3]

Heard on the news this morning the cash stapped NSW govt is going to axe many senior police positions and reduce the number of new recruits to save money. Well thats ok if there is less crime but there's no proof that is the case with the number of robberies, shootings and drive bys being done at the moment.
We are able to afford to pay a contractor to operate new speed camera cars with another 40 to be put into service soon but we can not afford to have real police tackling real crime......... If we had these money making cameras operated by police they could perform other roles in policing as should be the case when an emergency arises... but no the cameras cars and operators will only be able to photograph the shooters as they drive bye waving at the car.
I feel sorry for the officers in the force they for the most part do a great job but their bosses the government are constantly stabbing them in the back. When you really need the police response times will have to increase with these cuts giving the offenders the upper hand once again knowing they have more time before help arrives.
Congratulations NSW govt on looking after the public safety after all the only way you will die or be hurt in NSW is speeding.
