They deserve every penny of their retirement cash.

One has only to look at the police records down the past century or so –

Under the chief constable in or around the 1920s they put to flight one or two Sheffield gangs intent on bringing Sheffield to its knees.

A lone cop entered an East End pub to take on a man intent on shooting everyone in that pub as they were celebrating the 1958 new year.

A lone WPC in the Gleadless Valley area raced up to a hatchet-waving mad man, suffering untold wounds.
