UK: Police 'could use private contractors'

Two police forces in England and Wales are talking to private security firms about
letting them take over a much wider range of work than happens now, which
could include the investigation of crimes.
The West Midlands and Surrey forces are, with the support of the government,
exploring the possibility of transferring some of their most sensitive tasks to
commercial contractors. They have invited bids on behalf of all forces in England
and Wales.
Under the plan, forces would be able to choose which services to contract out.
The aim is to make savings. Chief Superintendent Phil Kay of West Midlands Police,
which has invited bids from a private company, says most important police work
will be done by uniformed officers:
"When it comes to arresting suspects, when it comes to executing power of
arrests and using force, both authorities and chief constables are really clear that
that continues to be, or will continue to be, done by sworn officers," he told the
programme.
"Some elements of patrolling it may be appropriate, but the majority of patrolling, the
majority of responding to calls for service, particularly 999 calls, will continue to be
done by police officers."
