Dear Pippa
Senior Salaries Review Body Remit 2024/25 - Chief Police Officers
I am pleased to write to you to formally commence the 2024/25 pay round and ask for the Senior Salaries Review Body (SSRB) to make recommendations on how to apply the pay award for the chief police officer ranks.
I am aware that the Police Remuneration Review Body has considered chief police officer pay since the 2018/19 pay round. My officials stand ready to provide any information required to support the transition of the chief police officer remit back to the SSRB.
In 2023/24, the Pay Review Bodies recommended historically high pay awards for their respective workforces in light of the extraordinary macroeconomic context. Accepting these recommendations, whilst not increasing borrowing, required tough decisions. It is vital that the Pay Review Bodies consider the historic nature of the 2023/24 awards and the Government’s affordability position that will be set out further in written evidence.
Thank you for your hard work in this important area. I look forward to receiving your report in May 2024.
Rt Hon James Cleverly MP
