I HAVE no doubt Martyn Underhill, the new Police and Crime Commissioner, has good reason to write to government about the police funding formula for Dorset (Daily Echo, January 7).
However, when a recent Taxpayers’ Alliance report (December 30 2012) reckons that it costs £684,961 per year for each bobby on the beat, I have to question how the current funding is managed by Dorset Police.
