I have taken the bull by the horns and put this matter in front of my federation reps who, I admit, to my surprise, have seen red and taken it to a national level. I hope that something will get done. Personally, I don't want flight pay or the such, I just want to make sure that, should the unthinkable happen, as unfortunately it sometimes does, I or my next of kin will be fairly treated in compensating for any disability or loss.
I'll update you when I get further details from the Police Federation.
