    Default Security guards, guard the Police!

    In yet another episode in the crazy comedy that used to be known as the United Kingdom. I present.......

    Security guards protect police HQ

    The Surrey police force has been branded as "crazy" for hiring security guards to protect its headquarters.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    Look on the bright side IA , think of the money it saves .
    Why bother wasting a highly paid constable who gets a huge benefits package by having them sitting at the side gate signing visitors cars in and out all day and night .
    Get some muppet on minimum wage instead .

    Actually I suspect the muppet gets paid more, by the hour.

    Regardless it shows that Surrey Police cannot do their job. The purpose of the Police is to make private security irrelevant.

    I see nothing wrong with it, why should the police waste time protecting themselves when they should be doing their job policing in the community - i honestly think its better use of trained police officers time

    If it's cheaper, then I think it's a good diea. If it's more expensive, then the system should be scrapped, and the person responsible given duties more fitting to their 40W brain.

    In all honesty it's not a bad idea, alot of US military bases are guarded by private security firms. Even if it's more expensive it's still not a bad idea considering that it takes longer to train a police officer than a security guard and it allows police to focus on their jobs.
