Justice Minister Announces New PSNI Pay Offer
Justice Minister Naomi Long has confirmed the 2023-24 pay remit for police officers at Federated and Superintending ranks has been agreed.
The award is consistent with the recommendations of the independent police remuneration review body.
The Minister said: "I am pleased to announce approval for a pay award of over 7% for police officers, in recognition of the vital work that they do. Police Officers play a crucial role in our society in upholding justice and safeguarding our communities and for that I thank them.
"The financial challenges faced by all NICS Departments are well documented however public sector pay has been a priority for me and my Executive colleagues. This award acknowledges the significant public service that police officers deliver and we continue to work towards pay settlements for other staff groups."
PSNI Chief Constable, Jon Boutcher, has welcomed the news of a new 7% pay rise for officers.
Mr Boutcher said: "Since taking up post in November last year, I have been relentless in making sure that my voice has been heard to ensure our officers get the 7% pay award that they deserve.
"The Service Executive Team and I have been working closely with colleagues in the Department of Justice and the Department of Finance and I welcome today’s announcement.
"I want to reassure police staff colleagues that I am also fully committed to ensure that they get their pay award and that I will continue to work to secure that outcome."
