Derbyshire Police save money by making budget cuts

POLICE in Derbyshire will soon be saving up to £3,000 a year thanks to recent budget cuts, latest figures reveal.

The first thing that is being removed is all police cars in the Derbyshire police force area, as it is costing the force too much money to keep filling them up with petrol. They are being replaced with 16" Hello Kitty bikes and Little Tikes Cozy Coupes from Toys 'R' Us.

The next thing that is being cut is uniforms, from now on all police officers in Derbyshire will dress in casual clothing, making them look like ordinary citizens. The final cut being made is handcuffs, they are being replaced with basic 9.5mm rope from Screwfix.

Mike Fletcher, a spokesman for Derbyshire Police said "We have made a number of budget cuts at our police force up and down Derbyshire county, these budget cuts are saving our force over £3,000 a year which can be better used to protect and serve the public. However our budget cuts work better in the public's favor. Due to our police no longer being in uniform, nobody will know if there's a police officer around or not and it will deter them from committing a crime."
