"Mrs Spence ... suggests that officers would be willing to take a pay cut, or a change in their rates of overtime and allowances, if it meant saving jobs.
“Talking to officers and staff they do not like it, but they’d rather jobs were kept and pay was reduced,” she says.
“Everyone understands the economic climate we’re in and they recognise they have a role in trying to support the country out of it Mrs Spence says some of the better-funded forces have to take a bigger proportion of the cuts to save the 16 whose funding is under the national average.

When the Tories cut police Pay last time it lead to a collapse in police recruitment, a dropping of standards.

Doing away with the meaningless statistics the time it takes to collect, input, collate and interpret them into drivel which no one actually believes would save a fortune.

Police officer's should have the Automatic shift element stripped from their pay which should only be paid to officers working anti social hours.

There should also be allowances for frontline officers dealing with the public....
Basically a PC sitting in an office doing the job of an Administrative Assistant should be paid as an admin assistant.

There should also be an annual fitness test to ensure that officers are fit for their role with a bonus paid for those who meet the required standard.

The aim would be that an Officer attracting the full range of allowances would be paid the same rate as they are currently attracting.

Those frontline officers would be rewarded. Those officers no longer willing to get their hands dirty would pay the penalty of a reduction in pay in exchange for their cosy, safe office job.

There would have to protection for officers injured in the line of duty and those transferred against their wishes though the latter would have to be time limited incase they became too comfortable.
