ONE in six Avon and Somerset Police officers say they are on the breadline with many planning to quit the force because they are not paid enough.

- Post REPORTER

According to the 2024 Police Federation of England and Wales Pay and Morale Report - published yesterday - 86% of respondents have seen living cost increases in the previous month and 56% of officers are dissatisfied with their pay.

Three quarters of Avon and Somerset Police officers feel 'worse off' financially now than they were five years ago and 16% 'never' or 'almost never' have enough money to cover all their essentials.

And 18% of those who responded to the survey said they intend to resign from the police service either 'within the next two years' or 'as soon as (they) can'.

While officers received a 4.75% pay rise in 2024, pay has reduced by a fifth since 2010. The starting salary for a constable is £29,907.
