  You clearly didn't actually read my Blog Howard,
  
  There is nothing new or wrong with this. Private security firms have been around a long time and have been playing more and more of a supportive role for the police for decades and we should welcome such developments.
  
  Nothing 'off balance sheet' or any kind of financial trickery Tom - this is not a PFI scheme as abused by Brown but contracting and outsourcing from police budgets and it is a matter for individual forces. It is a simple fact that contracting out, something I have had considerable direct experience with, properly done can be a lot cheaper and can improve services.
