Eight and a half million is a tad over twenty three grand every day of the year. It would be interesting to understand what share of that the major operating costs of labour, premises rental and IT make up. Let’s say just a shade under three grand a day will be the depreciation on the original investment that would leave twenty grand per day to cover running costs. As a tax payer I do not struggle with that level of spending if there is a tangible benefit to society but it doesn’t escape me that that kind of money could fund another eighty odd coppers on the beat.
