That is a tribute to policing, to police officers and to the way we’ve changed to be able to make such a statement.
On the policing family first of all, this is founded absolutely fundamentally on the principles set out by the 1998 Crime and Disorder Act which many police officers have said to me has been one of the most important pieces of police legislation in recent time.
Again like the policing family in every neighbourhood I think the Police team is a relatively easy slogan but I think it’s a very, very difficult thing to put in practice given the history that exists in a wide variety of different ways.

The Police Federation is seeking a solution to these problems through the courts, but it is only in the political domain that an answer to the question 'what was it all for?' might be found.
