The Pay and Morale survey is an annual survey, which has been conducted each year since 2014. To the best of our knowledge, it is the largest annual survey of Police officers in the UK. This year, unlike previous years, the Pay and Morale survey has been combined with the Demand, Capacity, and Welfare survey. The PFEW Demand, Capacity and Welfare Survey is a biennial survey that was launched in 2016 in response to unprecedented budgetary cuts and a 14% fall in officer numbers over the previous seven years2. Combining these two surveys into one allows members’ views to be collected and presented in a more streamlined manner. This report provides a summary of key findings on respondents’ morale, cost of living and attitudes towards pay and remuneration. Findings also cover respondents’ intention to stay in the Police service, and indicators of engagement with the service – for example, whether respondents feel proud to be in the Police, and whether respondents would recommend the Police service to others. The report also provides details on how respondents view their working arrangements, workloads, and working hours, as well as their physical and mental health and wellbeing.
