HARDtalk's Katya Adler speaks to the chairman of the Police
Federation in England and Wales, Paul McKeever.

The police in Britain, used to being revered, respected and
admired at home and abroad, find themselves under a heavy black
cloud.

With allegations of bribery and corruption denting the public's
trust, the force now also faces dramatic cuts to its budget and
changes to its structure.

Paul McKeever, himself a long-serving officer, says proposed
government reforms could lead to the destruction of the police as
we know it. But with the force untouched by change for decades,
is now not an ideal opportunity to shape up for the challenges of
the 21st century?
