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:
Officers and partner agencies praised following immigration fraud conviction
Work to improve mooring at Ferry Terminal in Liverpool scheduled for next week
Manx Care reports major drop in dental waiting lists
Police 'disappointed' to find more than half of vehicles with defects in latest winter checks
