SURREY police is axe strokes 11 of its most senior leaders despite concerns the loss experience perhaps hitting ability to cope with a crisis force.
Agents from inspectors to directors head recently received notice of redundancy and are set to leave the Surrey Police next April.
Another 24 senior officers should also be deleted within four years, within the framework of drive force to save 23 millions of pounds in the next three years.
However, Federation of Surrey police criticised the move, raising fears that redundancies fundamentally affect the ability of the strength of the function in the case of a major incident.
SPF Chairman Kieran Diamond said: "it seems to be somewhat baffling that we managed to save continuously for several years and we are in a much healthier than some other forces place."
This option must be a last resort and if all the valuable experience of police is forced to mandatory retirement, we certainly will be throwing the baby with the bath water.
"It probably puts risk on our ability to deal with any future major incident or critique and ability to manage large public events policing."
Mr. Diamond said that any reduction of redundancy should have placed waiting until after the Olympics when further examination could take place, adding that further significant savings could be made by bureaucracy and supply costs.
He said that SPF recognized the considerable spending challenges force face, but that now is not time to cut the senior officers and focused on the impact on the remaining staff.
Although the police is not legally authorized to make staff redundant, they have the power to retired officers who service 30 years of.
Redundancies are still approved by the Surrey police authority who will render its decision to a meeting on 4 November.
According to the proposals revealed in 2009, force wants to recruit up to 200 additional agents first line in the next 18 months.
Surrey Police denied that senior officers unemployed are made redundant, saying the move on the retired officers who have completed their 30 years of service.
Deputy Chief Officer Craig Denholm said: "Surrey police works hard to protect front-line services that we believe is that we want the public."
"This means make difficult decisions in what is an extremely difficult financial climate."
He said that as a result, force is implementing a range of measures aimed at strengthening its first line.
This included restructuring reduce senior officers of police officers were pointed tip although much depends on the outcome of the comprehensive spending review.
Wednesday, the Government announced that police funding will be reduced by 20% in real terms.
Dr. Denholm said: "If the measure is accepted by the Authority (police), inspectors and above reaches 30 years of service or are about 30 more plan in March of next year will be needed at retirement for reasons of effectiveness of strength, with some exceptions for operational necessity."
"Surrey police recognizes the valuable skills and experience of our agents and the decision to seek police authority to invoke the A19 regulation was difficult, but we need to take all available measures to protect our front-line services and reduce the financial burden that we face."
