Sussex Police “must make changes in delivering services” as unveils new spending plans

Police chiefs have said they must make cutbacks if they are to balance the books in the coming years.

Sussex Police today (Tuesday November 18) unveiled proposals to slash its budget by £55 million over the next five years.

Bosses said it will create a new modern police force – operating to a reduced budget and adopting technology.

They added they would have to prioritise services to those that need them most.

But some concern has been expressed that crimes could be reported via email and even text.

Latest TV’s Mhairi Beveridge was in Brighton looking into the issue.
