SIR – Commentators are far too quick to abuse the police for prioritising certain crimes above others (“Faith in the police”, Letters, June 15).
We must stop this, as at the sharp end of policing we have constables obeying orders from their seniors.
Who controls senior police officers? The politicians we voted for. Twelve months ago they were Conservatives; now they’re Labour. They are all tarred with the same woke brush.
Our constables are treated with derision because they are the face of policing. Shame on our politicians.
