 SOLDIERS would have to take over policing duties and patrol the streets if a flu pandemic put Britain’s police forces out of operation, a senior commander gave warning yesterday. Alan Goodwin, Deputy Chief Constable of Derbyshire, said that if a pandemic became so severe and widespread that police and military manpower was drastically cut, the Government might have to appeal for help from foreign police forces which had not been affected by the infectious disease. Mr Goodwin, head of a police committee on contingtency planning, was giving evidence to the Lords Science and Technology Committee. He confirmed a Times report this week that police have drawn up plans to protect NHS clinics and supplies of the anti-viral drugs in case mobs try to grab them.
