The UK government has been urged to give a 17 percent pay rise to police officers as the labour unrest in the public sector rumbles on.
The Police Federation of England and Wales (PFEW) on Thursday made the demand after a think tank report said real-term police pay has fallen almost 20 percent behind inflation since 2000.
