The issue of police wages are top of mind for the British home secretary, Theresa May. She recently said that pay cuts for police officers are essential in order to minimise front line job losses at forces in England and Wales.
She went on to say that "There's no question that pay restraint and pay reform must form part of the package. If you are going to find savings, pay is a good place to start”.
"I want to protect police jobs and keep officers on the street, and we can only do that if we reform pay and conditions for all officers."
