Failure to prioritise the vaccination of frontline police officers against Covid-19 would be 'a deep betrayal and will not be forgiven or forgotten', federation leaders have warned.
An open letter has been sent from all 43 branches of the Police Federation of England and Wales to officials in Westminster and the Welsh Assembly.
The groups reacted angrily after Health Secretary Matt Hancock said on Monday that police officers would not be prioritised over the groups already identified for getting vaccines first.
