Private firm to run police station
A PRIVATE security firm has signed a contract to build, design and help run a police station.
G4S has signed the deal, thought to be the first of its kind, with Lincolnshire Police Authority in a move which could save the force £28m, the firm said.
It comes amid concerns from the Police Federation that public sector staff could have a sense of duty which the private sector may not. The police station is expected to account for a “major proportion” of the savings, G4S said.
