Federation comment on health and safety

04 October 2008

 

Paul McKeever, Chairman of the Police Federation of England and Wales, says:

"The health, safety and well-being of police officers is paramount. We would never encourage officers to place themselves or others in dangerous or life-threatening situations. However, every day police officers do selfless acts and the Bravery Awards, whilst not encouraging these actions, does recognise them. Placing caveats and riders on the awards would only diminish the officers’ acts of bravery."
