Officers are 'broken' by a huge increase in working hours, Essex Police Federation says.
A police officer earned £18,344 on top of their salary due to the amount of overtime they worked, figures reveal.Officers have been left "broken" as a result of being "forced" into working extra shifts, the county's police federation warned.
"I've spoken to officers who are broken but will say 'the team is really short today' and feel they have to work."Ms Heggie said there were also police who needed overtime "because they wouldn't be able to survive without it". Earlier this month, Mr Harrington said he might be forced to cut 200 officers and staff unless Essex Police received extra funding.
