Policing - Is Â£65k salary inadequate?

Mark Jones claims that he will get more money for policing in Lincolnshire from the Government and that he needs a deputy as he doesn't have the time to do everything.

As finance portfolio holder for Lincolnshire County Council, his Conservative colleagues in Government ignored him, Lincolnshire got a terrible settlement, and a few more crumbs were thrown our way after a carefully choreographed media spin by Conservative MPs.

These extra tit bits were always there for us, it was just spin to make it look like they had won something for Lincolnshire.

Appointing an unsuitable deputy, roundly rejected by the Police and Crime Panel, is arrogance.
