The Independent has reported today on the prospect of job cuts in the MoD Police, raising fears of reduced security at facilities that might contain nuclear materials. The Sun reported that 900 personnel were facing the chop in a forthcoming review.
In its reply, the MoD states that it is considering ways to reduce spending on the MoD Police to allow resources to be focused on the front line. In its closing remark, the MoD also state that security of nuclear locations will never be compromised.
In our previous post on the MoD Civil Service, we stated that the MoD Police and Guarding Agency has approximately 7,700 staff, or 11% of our notional civil service figure, but is it the full picture?
Policing in the military is fragmented, many organisations, services and agencies make up the overall picture.
