POLICE officers are doing a fantastic job during the Covid-19 pandemic as they put themselves at risk on the frontline to keep the general public safe.<\/p>\n
South Yorkshire Police Federation said bobbies should be praised for their selfless work during unprecedented times for the country.<\/p>\n
Chairman Steve Kent said: \u201cWe\u2019re doing a fantastic job. The thing that I would like to say is how wonderful our NHS colleagues and our care colleagues are doing an absolutely unbelievable job and they\u2019re rightly recognised for it by us as well as anybody else.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut sometimes I think policing is forgotten about during this. We\u2019re at the frontline to it. Cops are doing a fantastic job.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey know they\u2019re at risk themselves of getting it, and I\u2019d just like to say that we all appreciate what they\u2019re all doing.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat Nick Knowles said was absolutely bang on.\u201d<\/p>\n
TV Presenter Nick Knowles \u2013 a long-time supporter of the police \u2013 praised officers during an appearance on ITV\u2019s Good Morning Britain on 22 April.<\/p>\n
He told the programme: \u201cThere\u2019s a real imbalance how this is reported, I think. \u201cI don\u2019t know why we\u2019ve got a thing in this country for hammering the police. They’re protecting us but they\u2019re also protecting the NHS.\u201d<\/p>\n
