Scrapping 'barmy projects would put 20
Roger Baker said the target is "real" and would not cost the public a penny if all 43 forces echoed work he has done in Essex, which has already resulted in hundreds of extra officers paid for through millions of pounds in savings.
Mr Baker said the police service had "lost the plot" over the mix between regular officers and civilian staff and warned too many sworn officers have been taken off the streets.
In a hardhitting speech to the Police Federation annual conference, he branded the idea that constant reform of the police will tackle crime more effectively at a lower cost as "complete and utter nonsense".
He said the public simply want more officers on the beat,Oakley Radar Sunglasses Sale, attacked the closure of police stations and criticized the culture that has led to fewer criminals being jailed because the prisons are full.
And he said it was "outrageous" that someone who assaulted a police officer could be handed an onthespot fine.
Mr Baker said: "In my view we have removed far too many sworn police officers from the frontline who have daytoday contact with the public.
"We have significantly lowered public expectation of what we can deliver,Buy Oakley Sunglasses Outlet."
The conference, in Bournemouth, was told Essex is on course to increase officer numbers by 600 within the next four years at a cost of 27 million scraped out of existing budgets.

Spending on expensive kit such as Oakley sunglasses for specialist teams nicknamed "Gucci squads" has also been reduced.
Mr Baker said money has been saved in areas from insurance to buffets and sunglasses, and forces could recover up to 1 billion if they followed suit.
He said: "If we apply this model,Oakley Outlet New York City, if Essex is midrange,Cheap Oakley Canada, we could provide between 15,000 and 20,000 new police officers in the next three to five years without burdening the taxpayer of England and Wales.
"This would put more police officers on our streets, making it safer for all of us. This is achievable if we want it to be and would be exactly what our public want."
Mr Baker,Wholesale Discount Oakley Sunglasses, who retires this summer, said he has asked officers to wear traditional tunics while on patrol with Dixon of Dock Greenstyle identification badges.
He said he has opened 12 police stations 24hoursaday, increased the number of volunteer specials and reintroduced the role of station sergeant.
And he dismissed excessive bureaucracy, unnecessary back office functions and policespeak as "nonsense" and the "emperor's new clothes".
In a wideranging speech, the chief constable said he wanted to see "oneonone marking" on the small number of criminals responsible for the majority of offences and that the best way to cut burglary was to "lock up burglars".
He said police have stopped turning up for some types of crime and instead hand out crime numbers for insurance claims by telephone.
"We could form our own police force with a book and a telephone and just give everybody numbers," he said.
He has previously won widespread support for pledging to send officers to meet every victim of crime and, when he first joined Essex in 2005, demanded that his officers make 600 additional arrests within a week.Read more
