However dangerous the situation, their job is to protect and serve us.
We are dealing with people's safety, people's lives at the end of the day, and police officers are expected to do that, and by doing it, apparently on the cheap, it will affect the public.
They cost us 11 billion pounds a year, a bill the government says must be cut.
Punishing us in this way by withdrawing the things that you said in a contract you're going to give to us, and I think it's unfair.
Like most public servants, officers have already seen their pay frozen, but the Home Secretary's already made it clear, that won't be enough.
I know that some will reject in principle the very idea of reviewing police paying conditions, but I remind them that those savings will save the jobs of police men and women.
Separate figures released yesterday showing the police overtime payments have almost doubled over the past decade, will have strengthened the government's hand with the public, but arguing the case before this report's even out has cast doubt over its independence.The review's author, the former rail regulator Tom Winser has been asked to look at not just pay and overtime, but also generous housing and travel allowances, shift patterns and arrangements for retirement and redundancy.
At the moment, police can't be laid off, because they are classed as servants of the Crown. Officers insist they're worth the money.
If you're gonna look into policing on the cheap, then you have to expect the results are, maybe not gonna be the same as when you throw money at it.
Police officers aren't allowed to strike, but they can protest and refuse to perform certain duties. With a royal wedding and the Olympics on the horizon, and the government determined to cut the budget, consider the battle lines between police and parliament well and truly drawn.
