As Police Officers we deal with people daily, in face to face situations. This is the same for other Emergency Personnel also. 

Sometimes we have to get hands on, and this totally breaches that 2 metre rule. In doing so, some are less than happy to have the bracelets applied and like to struggle. This means we are assaulted in many forms. The worst being spat at and bitten at this present time.

All Police Officers need to be protected and shown respect by this government, by being prioritised NOW. In doing so would also protect the public with whom we interact with on a mass scale. Inadvertently we may be moving the disease between houses ourselves. 

We all accept the danger of the job, but this is on a different level, that NONE of us signed up for.
By not providing Police and all other Emergency Service personnel with this vaccine you are sending us out to our deaths, and in doing so this is a breach of The Human Rights Act, as we all have a right to life.

Thus meaning we are not actually fully equipped to carry out our duties in this current climate. 

This petition is done in memory of a friend, who paid the ultimate price. The Police has a huge gapping hole right now.

RIP
