POLICE officers are resorting to foodbanks after having their pay squeezed over the last decade, the head of Britain’s biggest force said yesterday.

Met Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said he was concerned that growing numbers of officers were struggling to make ends meet.

He said while police have no wish to strike, they were “frustrated” at the way their living standards have been eroded in recent years.
