The West Midlands police, under guidance from the Home Office have advertised contracts worth £1.5 billion to run policing services here and in Surrey. The contracts could lead to the privatisation of crime investigation, forensics, 999 call-handling, custody and detention and a wide range of police support services by as early as February next year.
