    Policy Exchange Police staffing and resources are at unprecedented levels. On any basis England and Wales have never been more policed, and police forces have never been so rich in technology or staff support. But budget reduc)ons for the police in England and Wales Cost of the Cops over the next four years and the need for improved produc)vity will focus a*en)on on the costs of policing, the pay and condi)ons of staff and the way in which those resources are deployed. Manpower and deployment in policing Edward Boyd, Rory Geoghegan and Blair Gibbs Eighty per cent of police funding is spent on personnel, so the impera)ve to ensure Cost of the Cops efficient staffing arrangements has never been greater. Unfortunately the debate about police funding con)nues to be played out in line with a damaging two decade-long obsession with officer numbers, and a lack of understanding about how police manpower is presently deployed. Cost of the Cops examines the cost base of policing over the period 2001-2010 and explores whether current resources of staff and uniformed officers are being used effec)vely. This report examines in detail manpower and deployment issues affec)ng the police – including civilianisa)on, deployment and frontline visibility. This report finds that low rates of civilianisa)on s)ll persist in the police, which prevents the right people from being in the right jobs, resul)ng in inefficiency and a poorer service to the public as warranted officers perform civilian roles far away from the frontline.
