There's a warning from Devon and Cornwall's Police and | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
Crime Commissioner that the force could "go bust" unless | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
Tony Hogg says the constabulary must find new ways | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
And he's also calling for more volunteer effort to help | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
Like all local public services, Devon and Cornwall Police are under | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
They are already considering closing some front desk enquiry offices | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
and are investigating sharing resources with neighbouring Dorset. | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
But further savings still need to be found. | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
And in an article to mark the halfway | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
point in his term of office, Devon and Cornwall's Police and Crime | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
We have got to find a further ?14.1 million's worth of efficiencies | :00:48. | :01:11. | |
That is to seek to balance the budget. | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
That is where we need to get to, we need to be spending the same | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
That is a big challenge for us but it is one Tony Hogg is | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
With the number of police officers in Devon expected to fall to just | :01:25. | :01:28. | |

for volunteers to play a greater role in keeping the streets safe. | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
He says he can envisage local communities clubbing together to pay | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
for items such as speed limit signs and even | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
The Home Office has said the police have had | :01:45. | :01:48. | |

The likes of David Broster, shifting 700 tonnes of silt | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
When they said we were coming here to dredge this, you know, | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
I am proud to be helping the community. | :02:36. | :03:09. | |
Maintaining the river will cost ?100,000 a year, according to | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
