HeadingNorth Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I knew you wouldn't be able to prove it. What are you asking me to prove? Are you claiming that extra hours are not extra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vague_Boy Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 wont it just be policed by on duty officers on the day that are being paid their salary for being on duty, or in other words, doing their job, anyway? By that logic, what they would be doing normally can't be that important if hundreds of them can be spared to police a political conference. They can't, so other police officers work overtime to make up the numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vague_Boy Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Yes it is, they will be payed the same overtime rate as usual The rate is not the issue, it's the extra hours involved. About 1,000 officers will be on duty for the three-day conference, which starts on 11 March, in an operation expected to cost about £2m. The cost, borne by the police, comes as the force tries to make £15m of savings. Officers' leave has been cancelled so the force can mount a 24-hour security operation for the duration of the event, as well as carry out normal duties. LINK So you're saying that the police are spending £2 million at a time when they've got to make cuts of £15 million, for no reason, on nothing at all?

Rupert_Baehr Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 ...They may even have to draft in Police from neighbouring forces (and I doubt the people living in the areas which provide additional manpower [should it be required] will feel like paying for it.) But they will still be getting paid the same amount. If, for example, Police are drafted in from Derbyshire, then they would indeed be paid by Derbyshire. But that doesn't mean that the Derbyshire police won't bill S Yorks police for the work their people do. It might help to offset the cuts they are going to have to make.

Vague_Boy Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Some police earning up to £100,000 (with overtime). LINK The annual overtime bill alone is running at more than £450 million across the country and will be a key target of any reform. Makes the 2 million quid needed for this conference look like chump change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of my colleagues earned that much this year! Wouldn't anyone who got called into work at short notice want payment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
