Theresa May says government will hand back powers to police
Theresa May says government will hand back powers to police; May speech SOT
- I know I’ve got a lot to learn from you – to really understand the challenges you face / But let me be clear – I know what an amazing job you do / Every single day, you do extraordinary things / When others would step aside – it’s you who step in / When people are running away from danger, you are running towards it / Day in and day out; in fair weather and foul; it’s you who maintain the law and order that is so fundamental to our free and civilised society / This isn’t the glamorous fiction portrayed in TV programmes that romanticise the work of detectives, crime scene investigators and SWAT teams / It’s about you, the constables, sergeants, inspectors and chief inspectors who are the face of the police service for every man, woman and child in our country, including the millions of tourists who flock here every year / And it’s about the work you do / Preventing and detecting crime / Intervening in violent situations / Responding night and day to the public / Making it safe to enjoy our great national events – from taking the kids to the football to watching the Queen open Parliament / Keeping our traffic flowing and our streets and highways safe / And keeping the peace at public demonstrations / These are fundamental to our free society – and you make it all possible / You put up with abuse and worse, but you do so to keep us free and allow us to live and work together in safety on this crowded island / You do an amazing job – and it’s time we gave you all the respect you deserve / For your courage, your dedication to duty and your sheer hard work – I want to say, thank you
