Cuts warning issued by Scottish police chiefA police chief in Scotland has warned that jobs will have to be lost at the force as a result of funding cuts.

Strathclyde Police has been advised that finances could be reduced by up to 24 per cent during the next four years and to plan appropriately.

According to Chief Constable Steven House, there is "no choice" other than proposals to slash hundreds of positions from the largest force in Scotland.

"With cuts of this scale, it's inevitable we won't be able to do everything that we currently do," he stated, insisting that retaining frontline services will remain a priority for the force.

In addition to the proposed job cuts, specialist units may have to be sacrificed, the policing boss stated.

Those specialising in operations management in the public sector are advised that the Herald welcomed Chief Constable House's comments as "spelling out the kind of hard choices that must be made".ADNFCR-3058-ID-800043938-ADNFCR
