Isle of Man Police Federation welcomes payout
A one-off pay offer of £3000 shows Manx police officers are 'respected'.
That's according to the Chair of the Isle of Man Police Federation.
Speaking to Manx Radio Barry Hand said it's a good start in terms of ensuring better pay for Manx officers.
Home Affairs Minister Jane Poole-Wilson announced the payment in Tynwald yesterday saying it was a way of addressing 'recruitment and retention issues while long-term pay solutions are explored'.
Mr Hand has described it as 'step one' but believes there's a lot more work to be done:
Person dies following road traffic collision at Hillberry
Contractors to start installing 20mph signs in Douglas and Onchan
Road closures in place following incident in Hillberry area
Accessible bus stops rolled out across Bus Vannin network
£1 million National AI Office launched to coordinate artificial intelligence policy and adoption
