CRESSIDA DICK SAYS THAT ‘HE FEELS FOR HIS OFFICIALS, EVERY DAY’
When asked if she felt she owed an apology to her front-line officers, Dame Cressida Dick said: “I am sorry for my officers, I am sorry for them every day.”
She added: “I fully recognize that, particularly in this last year, they are often in very very difficult situations, they are watching during a pandemic. Nobody wants a third wave to happen.
“It’s only been a few weeks since the NHS was on its knees. They have a really difficult job, they have to make accurate judgments, they often don’t have infinite information or all the time in the world.
“They have to make these really tough decisions and I don’t think anybody should sit in an armchair and say ‘well, that was done wrong’ or ‘I would have done it differently’ without really understanding what was going through their minds. I guarantee that each and every officer who was watching last night, like me, would rather we weren’t around the time of the coronavirus. There could be a great series of peaceful vigils across the country.
“Most of them would have been at those vigils and I guarantee you also that my officers up and down London and beyond, if they weren’t working, would have been thinking of Sarah at 9:30 pm last night, would have been lighting their candles or pauses, and it’s something that we care very, very deeply. “
