<p>The morale of officers across the country will be damaged by Home Secretary Theresa May&#8217;s warning over police pay cuts, the Police Federation has said.</p>
<p>Simon Reed, vice-chairman of the organisation which represents rank-and-file officers in England and Wales, said it was clear the Home Secretary undervalues the work of the police, despite her claims to the contrary.</p>
<p>&#8220;Officers will see straight through that,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;She clearly undervalues what we do, despite what she says. Words are cheap, but actions speak louder. Clearly she does not value us as much as she says she does.&#8221;</p>
<p>His comments come after Mrs May said that in any organisation where £11 billion, three-quarters of total spending, went on wages, it was clear pay would have to be considered in any review.</p>
<p>Mr Reed said officers expected to be part of the two-year public sector pay freeze, which Mrs May said would save some £350 million.</p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s a considerable sacrifice,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Officers and their families are making that sacrifice. Whatever other cuts come on top of that will have an adverse effect on morale.&#8221;</p>
<p>He attacked Mrs May&#8217;s &#8220;double speak&#8221;, saying: &#8220;On the one hand she celebrates the amazing work done every day by the police, recognising the incredibly tough job officers do, fighting crime and facing danger.</p>
<p>&#8220;Yet she sees fit to reward them with pay cuts and uncertainty over their terms and conditions.&#8221;</p>
<p>But Mrs May, who said she will not see the findings of the Winsor review until it is published on Tuesday, added that &#8220;extraordinary circumstances&#8221; mean the Government must reform terms and conditions to keep officers on the streets.</p>
