'I had to quit my dream job at the police'

Some police forces are putting the public at an unacceptable risk by rationing their response as they struggle with cutbacks, Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary warns.
The inspectors say there are now too few detectives and in some areas an erosion of neighbourhood policing.

Former Met Detective Dan Clark-Neal has been investigating the issue for the Victoria Derbyshire programme.
