Home Secretary Charles Clarke has told rank and file police officers they face too much red tape - and pledged to ease the burden.

In a speech to the Police Federation, he conceded that much of that bureaucracy originated in Whitehall.
Federation chairman Jan Berry said targets forced too many officers off the beat to deal with paperwork.
