The head of ACPO, the Chief Constables' lobby group, is trying a similar trick here:
Specialist police units dedicated to investigating crimes such as murder, rape or child abduction could be abolished because of the cutbacks in Whitehall, a senior officer warned yesterday.
Sir Hugh Orde, president of the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) and a former chief constable of Northern Ireland, warned that teams dealing with one specific type of crime could be merged or scrapped as officers were moved elsewhere.
Really, so the only areas where the police could possible make cutbacks or efficiency savings are in things like murder and child rape?

They could abolish those meetings they have to discuss what they call antisocial behaviour, and start detaining people who throw bricks through windows, attack neighbours, and deal illegal drugs instead.

They should read Insp Gadget's blog. LOTS of good suggestions there!
Senior- but that would require work.
Julia- But that assumes ACPO care
Again and again they get it wrong.
