“There is no greater responsibility than that which you as police officers accept. And there is no greater obligation for us in government than to support you in discharging that duty”.
Gordon Brown, ACPO Conference 2007

A copy of a confidential letter from the Home secretary, Jacqui Smith to the Chanceller seeking to get our annual pay increase ratified from December 1st and not September 1st was sent to a newspaper and it seems that the support for the Police from the Government has just about gone with the priority seeming to be about targets and saving money.
