Police staff vote to strike over home working rules

Union members claim managers have gone back on a deal that allowed them to work from home part of the week.

Around 2,400 staff, who support the everyday work of police officers, have been told they must go into the office more frequently.

Depending on where they work, those who have been travelling in on two days were ordered to increase that to three; those doing three must increase that to four, and those doing four in the office were told they must go in full-time.
