The government has finally backed down and confirmed that our pension contribution rates will remain as they are. I am drained from this fight but the outcome is exactly what we needed. Stay alert because we proved that they cannot change our terms without expecting a massive outcry.

Attention all Police Officers!


Are you a serving British Police Officer? 

Do you have a Police Pension? 

Then you will probably know that you currently pay 11% of your salary into your Pension fund (if you joined before April 2006) or 9.5% if you joined after this date.

Are you concerned about, or even aware of, the proposal made to the Coalition Government to increase your contributions to your Police Pension scheme for no extra benefit? 
This is a very real possibility and something we all need to be very concerned about....I am not scaremongering; read further about this, and you will see the problem.

Did you realise that Police Penions are not negotiable - in other words the Police Negotiating Board can do nothing about any Government decision to change our Pensions! Whilst pay and conditions go to negotiation, our Pensions do not - so NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT !!

Then click here to find out more about what you can do...

We hit one thousand signatures today. The fatigue is setting in but seeing that number helps me keep going when the pushback gets heavy.

The past few days have been draining but reaching one hundred signatures proves that others are just as worried about these pensions as I am. It is a long road ahead and I am tired of the silence from officials but we keep pushing forward.

Ridiculous. They keep our streets safe and the government treats them like garbage.

Fair pay for a fair days work. The government needs to find money elsewhere.
