The annual Police Federation pay and morale survey has closed – with the findings being revealed later this year.
The results of the survey are used as evidence in the Federation’s annual submission to the Police Remuneration Review Body (PRRB) which advises the Government on officer pay.
Last year’s survey revealed:
• 81 per cent of West Midlands respondents were dissatisfied with their overall remuneration, including pay and allowances
• 75 per cent felt they were worse off financially than they were five years ago
• 47 per cent reported worrying about the state of their finances every day or almost every day
• 13 per cent reported never or almost never having enough money to cover all their essentials
• 95 per cent felt Force morale was low.
