Police could call in outside firms to investigate crimes in dramatic step towards privatisation

Police could call in outside firms to investigate crimes in dramatic step towards privatisation

Private firms could take over police duties for investigating crimes, patrolling neighbourhoods and detaining suspects under a radical scheme proposed by two of the country’s largest forces.

West Midlands and Surrey have put a contract to tender on behalf of all England and Wales police forces – and major security companies like G4s have been invited to bid to provide services.

The contract, worth up to £3.5billion over seven years depending on the number of forces involved, is the largest move towards privatisation of the police yet.

It dwarfs the recent £200million contract between Lincolnshire police and G4S, which involves the company building and managing a police station as well as hiring half the force’s existing civilian staff.

The move is a response to significant cuts to police funding. But critics warn that outsourcing police functions could prove a ‘dangerous experiment with local safety’.
