NOTTS Police must save an extra £13.1m on top of its massive ongoing cuts programme, new figures show.
The force is in the process of slashing £43m from its spending as part of Government cuts, and has already closed police stations and disbanded its mounted unit.
It has also made civilian staff redundant and forced some officers to retire.
Papers to be discussed at a meeting next week show the force must find a further £13.1m in savings for the year 2015-16.
In a report, Charlotte Radford, chief finance officer for the Notts Police and Crime Commissioner, said the force had already been expecting to have to save more money but an announcement from the Government last month had helped confirm the total.
Police and Crime Commissioner Paddy Tipping and senior Notts Police officers are expected to discuss the figures at an open meeting next Wednesday.
The Strategic Resources and Performance meeting will take place at Aspley Community and Training Centre, off Minver Crescent, Aspley, from 10.30am.
