Police officers are 'never paid enough' for what they do, Commissioner claims

Morning today was Stark, and that is the president of the Police Superintendents Association

and also the National Chairman of the Police Federation of England and Wales

says policing is broken. Is that the case? And if so, why do you think it is

I don't think policing is broken. I think that's actually a little unfair on the

police officers and police staff who are out there working very hard every day

I've been out in Epsom this afternoon with our police officers. I don't think it's broken. I do, however, think that if we don't get a good settlement, if the government isn't prepared to put its money where its mouth is, and it's talked an awful lot over the last few years while it's been campaigning and now in government about the importance of sort of community safety and the amazing work that it's going to do

If it doesn't put its money where its mouth is, then we are facing a real crisis

We're not there yet. I'm really interested to see what comes out on Wednesday

I'll believe it when I see it in terms of the actual money that's there. It's very easy

isn't it? We know the kind of spin that happens before big budget fiscal events. I think there's

an awful lot of that going on at the moment, quite frankly, on all sides. Let's see what we get on

Wednesday. But certainly, policing is going to need some money if we're going to have any hope

of living up to this government's promises
