"What is keeping the police service afloat isn’t policy or procedure. What’s keeping it afloat are the people who work for the service – the cops – yet they’re being treated with total contempt.
Cops secured a seven per cent wage rise last year following a lengthy dispute after an initial claim of 8.5 per cent was repeatedly rejected.
