90 police officers to lose jobs

Fewer job losses than expected under old police authority

Devon and Cornwall's police and crime commissioner is to cut the number police officers in the region over the next four years.

Ninety jobs will go because of cuts in government funding. Four hundred posts have already been lost in the past three years.

The commissioner, Tony Hogg, says more police officers would have lost their jobs if he hadn't taken over from the old police authority.
