More
than 1,500 South Yorkshire Police roles could be cut over the next five years,
the BBC has learned.
Five
hundred officers, 1,000 support staff and 150 Police Community Support Officer
(PCSO) positions may go.
The
force said its required savings of £59m by 2020 "will only be achieved by
reducing officer and staff numbers".
South
Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner Alan Billings described the potential
1,500 job losses as the "worst case scenario".
