    The Police Federation, which represents rank-and-file officers, has called the proposal "extremely dangerous".

    The contract has a potential value of £1.5bn over seven years, but could rise to £3.5bn depending on how many other forces sign up. This move comes in the face of financial pressure to police forces, as they must deal with 20% cuts to budgets over four years.
