28 May 2012
Unite, Britain's biggest union, has welcomed Derbyshire's chief constable Mick Creedon's decision to rule out the privatisation of police services in Derbyshire.
Branding privatisation "a dangerous precedent for the future of law enforcement" Mick Creedon said there was no evidence that privatisation was cheaper or better and cared too much about his staff to allow them to be transferred to the private sector.
Unite national officer Peter Allenson said: "Chief constable Mick Creedon is a voice of wisdom and caution whilst his next door neighbour chief constable Chris Sims is rushing head-long into a dangerous experiment to privatise the West Midlands police force.
"We very much hope that other police chiefs will listen to Mick Creedon's concerns before allowing private companies to profit from police privatisation. The duty of the police is to put the public first not to allow private companies to put profits first."
