Fund a pay rise for police officers, in line with national minimum wage increase

Petition Details

I want the Government to fund a pay rise for police officers in line with the % increase in NLW. I think Police pay needs increasing; following pay freezes and low wage rises, the National Police Chiefs' Council has said that have on average officers pay has fallen by 16% in real terms since 2010.

Additional Information

I believe officers face reduced morale and burnout due to increasing pressures, along with financial struggles. We are concerned about the impact of this on their ability to perform their duties fairly and honestly. I think high workload and financial stress are causing many officers to consider leaving the job. This is a challenging situation that we believe requires attention and solutions.
