Mr. Drew Harris:

I do not want to give any more comfort, if I may. I would be inundated with requests for comfort. I wish to emphasise that we are making balanced decisions. In part, these are based on our current estate and what is possible within that framework. I will not get the money for ten new divisional headquarters and neither am I asking for it. I am determined that the leadership of a division be visible to everyone, not just to my staff and their staff, but to the communities they police. In working on this, we are doing our best to reach good compromises that meet local concerns as well as our operational demands. Beyond that, we are keeping this very much at policing senior command, in consultation with divisional command-----
