Football clubs should pay towards £70m policing cost, Met chief says
Football clubs, BBC’ye told, the UK matches should pay towards the cost of policing.
The country’s most senior police officer, Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley asked why the events that require policing to support their safety did not pay to the organizers and said the “more pollutant payment approach”.
Sir Mark’s comments called for the creation of 12 to 15 larger police forces as part of the plans of radical police reforms.
BBC’s Laura Kuensberg program and 43 force models in the UK and Wales on Sunday, on Sunday, should be reduced to cope with increasing demand and over -stretched financing.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced an annual 2.3% financing increase for police officers in England and Wales last month. He criticized many power funds as “very short”.
Sir Mark said the reforms will help the police forces, including “use the money we have in the best way”.
As part of financing concerns, the commissioner stated the cost of football in the UK, most of which was spent in Premier League matches in the UK.
“The organizer does not pay it rather than local communities who lost their resources to go to football matches?” he said.

Don’t write Sunday TimesSir Mark suggested that two -thirds of the number of police forces should be reduced, and larger powers said they could better use modern technology.
He added that the 43 powerful models designed in the 1960s have not been “suitable for the purpose” for at least twenty years and that “today’s threats have prevented the effective confrontation”.
Speaking with the BBC, the commissioner referred to a “invisible spaghetti” behind the police forces responsible for “absorbing resources and costs.”
“Many of the smaller powers cannot actually do all the services locally and have to make clubs together and carry out complex collaborations,” he added, “larger local powers and a national body” and that they can “cut most of this cost and waste.”
The Commissioner questioned by Kuensberg about the possibility of the progress of reform and referred to similar labor plans that were left after a significant opposition in 2006.
Sir Mark said that the reform was “necessary” and added that the expenditures for policing and public security have fallen in the last decade or more.
“I do not see that this has changed in a dramatic way. We must use every pound that the government can give us in the best way.”
He warned him that he warned him that he would have to foresee some crimes, and Sir Mark said: “That’s why I don’t want the policing activities to fall from the list, and I know that the mayor and the home secretary are forced to finance most of the police.
“We are determined to improve the experiences of the Londons on the streets every day. We can only do this if we focus on the police business.”
