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:
Lessons learned after snow day confusion
More than 100 firearms surrendered
Planning application to extend TT hospitality tent for new Food and Drink Festival submitted
'No tangible positives' achieved by public sector integrity line, says trade union
