Recent Police survey a 'cause for serious concern'

A recent survey of serving Police officer's pay on Island is a 'cause for serious concern.'

That's according to both the Police Federation and the Department of Home Affairs, in a statement published this week.

It comes following a public survey by the Police Federation, which highlighted 89% of respondents didn't feel the Constabulary offer good pay and conditions.

Further, 84% said they worry about their financial future. 

In their statement, both the department and federation have described Police as a 'vital part of of our community.'

They've committed to 'work together to find a solution and members have agreed to form a working party to bring back options and solutions to address the highlighted issues.'
