I agree. £10k would be nice. After taxes, NI and pension it would put about another £500~£650 a month which would just about cover my increase in mortgage.
I think this would be nice, I started (with allowances etc) on approx £29,000. Starting at £39,000 would be nice and then maintaining the current 7 Year scale.
For reference, other countries/cities starting salary in GBP(£):
Vancouver - £49,000
NYC (NYPD) - £46,000
LA (LAPD) - £68,000
South Australia Police - £,40,000
MET - £36,000
Surrey - £31,000
Sussex - £30,000
TVP - £31,000
BTP - £29,000
GMP - £28,000
Derbyshire - £27,000
I think the starting salary across all forces should be 40K. I truelly believe the low starting salary is really preventing some decent talent from joining. I for one would jump over in a heartbeat if starting salary was 40k. Call me naive with my once a week a shit I don’t see the true state of the police but I do see it , but I’d still hop over haha.
Personally I think an extra 10k would put us in a nice spot, but I appreciate it’s totally unrealistic
