• The post you are reporting:
   
  So the public wins because the police outsource non-frontline roles to third parties
  
  The public is reassured because the SLA's and penalty clauses are all stitched up wonderfully tight
  
  So how does the third party make money?
  
  Oh yes by paying their workers carrying out police roles less in terms of total package than the police officers currently doing it, which of course means lower tax and NI take, less discretionary spending and therefore less VAT etc etc
  
  But hey it cost us less in direct fees so it must be good for all of us
  
  And before you ask I also have direct experience of numerous outsourcing contracts in financial services and most of them end in tears
