Inspector’s Pay

The pay scale for an Inspector ranges from £41,034 (£42,834 in London) for a newly promoted Inspector to £44,508 (£46,320) for an Inspector with three completed years of service in rank.

Flexible Working Conditions
The normal working week is 40 hours on a shift basis. Shift patterns vary between forces. All ranks below superintendent are entitled to two rest days a week and compensation if required to work over those two days. They are also entitled to leave or compensation in lieu of public holidays.
It is possible to work part-time and flexible hours. For more information on this and on overtime pay and other benefits (including maternity leave, maternity support, adoption leave, career breaks, sick leave and allowances). Click here Terms and Conditions.

Pensions
Our pensions scheme offers generous benefits, with the option of transferring previous pensions to our scheme. It’s also worth noting that police officers are contracted out of the earnings related part of the State Pension Scheme, so National Insurance contributions are paid at the lower, contracted out rate.

I asked the question because someone said European wages are higher than American wages. Based on that pay scale, cops over there are not paid more than they are here.

At least not more than what cops make where I work.

Gas over there is MUCH higher, although ours has risen sharply over the past 1 1/2 years. I believe housing prices are higher there also arent they?

I don't think the average salary is higher here, actually I have no idea, but we were talking about minimum wage jobs. All jobs here are encompassed by "collective agreements" made by the unions to safeguard wage levels. It's about $14-15/hr or so. Raising minimum wages is good for the economy as well as for all levels of society.

What about if they know CPR, have large breasts and give really good blow-jobs?

Surely you can break 55?
