As part of the Public Sector Rich List, the TaxPayers’ Alliance (TPA) today publishes the most comprehensive report detailing Police Service employees whose annual remuneration exceeded £100,000.
A combination of Freedom of Information requests and analysis of Police Service annual statements of accounts has been used to produce this research. This report allows direct comparison of remuneration among senior Police employees across the country.
Taxpayers are grateful to the men and women who risk their lives to keep the public safe, and those who manage tough jobs well deserve good pay. However, there are too many examples of enormous payouts and a lack of accountability for those who fail to do their job. This research allows taxpayers to assess whether they get value for their money.

Jonathan Isaby, Chief Executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said:
"The men and women working in these services do tough, dangerous jobs for which the public are grateful, but that only makes it even more infuriating when those at the top continue to get taxpayer-funded deals and pay-offs that are completely out of step with reality. Necessary savings are being made and this reality must be reflected in the pay packages for the top brass."
