BARNSLEY could lose its district team, leaving the town's officers with bosses based miles away as government cuts bite further.
It is only two months since the old safer neighbourhood teams were scrapped and merged with 'response' officers who had previously turned out to emergencies.

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
