Examines the financial and administrative management of the
police force, concluding that the administrative services
represent poor value for money , that operational policing lacks
sufficient resources, that there is a shortage of specialist
staff, and that the organisation is too bureaucratic and
inflexible, with too little delegation to responsible officers
and bad communications between different levels of command.
Topics covered include budgeting, building maintenance, catering,
civilianisation, computing, cleaning, energy management,
training, vehicles, manpower planning and traffic wardens.
