Police officers in England and Wales are to be balloted on whether they want to be given the right to strike, the Police Federation has said.
Police officers are currently banned by law from taking industrial action.
The ballot of 135,000 members follows 20% budget cuts and proposals for the most wide-ranging reform of pay and conditions in more than 30 years.
