All Island Police Officers will receive a one-off payment of £3000 to respond to recruitment and retention issues while long-term pay solutions are explored.
The retention payment will be awarded to all federated ranks of the Isle of Man Constabulary during this financial year, with a condition to remain in the Constabulary for a period of 12 months.
The payment is in recognition of the large numbers of resignations from the Constabulary over the past two years, with many officers citing low pay as the main factor. Since January, ten officers have resigned from the force, with seven having under five years’ service and three serving between five and fifteen years. This is having an impact on the ability of the Constabulary to plan for succession and to maintain an establishment of trained and effective officers.
Police pay in the Isle of Man is linked to UK pay due to a reciprocal agreement. Police officers in their first years of service receive relatively low pay and this is causing issues with retention, particularly for those officers with fewer than five years of service.
The payment will be made in August, subject to the necessary administration being completed.
