A 7% increase to pay and allowances has been agreed for all police officers in Scotland.
The agreement also includes a commitment to commission an independent review to look at police officer pay and benefits, recognising the unique role of police officers in society as well as looking at potential approaches to ensure appropriate wage growth within policing from 2025/26. The Scottish Police Federation had called for a pay rise of 8.5% and last month urged officers not to report for duty when they should not be working.
“Recognising and rewarding the hard work of officers is vital and I thank everyone who has contributed to reaching this agreement.”
