[Maritime Q-Scout]

I'm very much an evidence based policy person.

Do the stats, types of crime, and need for mobile command support the need for a military style armoured vehicle?

If yes, then get it.

If not, then don't.

Does the mobile command centre need to look like its straight out of the Afgan War? Would it be better for the image of the CPS if it was in a more public pleasing livery?

I don't know.

But I do think those are fair questions, and I don't think "Trust me" is an adequate answer to justify spending public funds.

Again, the reasons may be perfectly valid, but not disclosing them isn't acceptable.
