Police officers are not allowed by law to strike. The protest has been organised to display their frustration. They say the plans will reduce their pay and proposals to give non-police personnel powers to stop, detain and use reasonable force against the public will not tackle crime effectively.

Do you think the police are right to protest in this way? Do you think crime is on the increase? Is the police service right to feel demoralised?

Put your questions to Jan Berry Vice Chairman of the Police Federation of England and Wales in a Live FORUM 13 March at 1415 GMT.
