Cressida Dick on Police Memorial Day: we are just ‘human beings who go to work to help people’

The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Cressida Dick on Police Memorial Day: we are just ‘human beings who go to work to help people'” – below is their description.

Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick, Home Secretary Priti Patel and London Mayor Sadiq Khan today laid wreaths to honour the police officers who have lost their lives on National Police Memorial Day. Tributes were paid to Matt Ratana, alongside the six other officers who have died on duty in the past 12 months. Mrs Dick hopes that if some good can come out after the killing of police officer Matt Ratana is that more people would understand the challenging of their work, and would see policemen and policewomen for who they are: “human beings who go to work, to help people, to support people, and to protect people.” Watch here: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/09/27/video-cressida-dick-police-memorial-day-just-human-beings/ Telegraph.co.uk and YouTube.com/TelegraphTV are websites of The Telegraph, the UK’s best-selling quality daily newspaper providing news and analysis on UK and world events, business, sport, lifestyle and culture.
