Video: David Cameron: the police must have our respect He has obviously apologised to me, but more importantly he has apologised thoroughly to the police and that needed to be done. Police do an outstanding job across our country. They do a very important job protecting places like Number 10 Downing Street and I am very conscious of the protection they give to me and my family and the work they do for everyone in public life. I am eternally grateful for that and the police should always have our respect and our help and support and that is very, very important.
