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:
Bed shortages at Noble's are 'no threat' to TT 2026
Updates planned to beneficial ownership framework
Commissioners say residents left in 'void' over plans for onshore windfarm
Charity ball in Douglas to support air ambulance and neonatal care
Former TT racer died from head injuries after crash
