(asked on 4th December 2023) - View Source
Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the average salary of a member of Bedfordshire police force was in each of the last three years.
Salaries for police officers in England and Wales are determined by the Home Secretary, following advice and recommendations from the independent Police Remuneration Review Body (PRRB). The Government has no statutory role in determining the pay and conditions for police staff, which are agreed locally by Chief Constables in consultation with trade unions.
The Home Office does not publish information on the average salary of police officers and police staff by police force area.
The minimum and maximum rates of basic pay for police officers in England and Wales for each of the last three years are in the table below.
