WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER BY DEPUTY R.G. LE HERISSIER OF ST. SAVIOUR ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 5th JULY 2011
Question
Can the Chief Minister confirm how jobs in the Police uniformed service are classified and pay scales are arrived at?
Answer
The States of Jersey Police Officer ranks, in the main, mirror the ranks of the UK Police Forces with a few exceptions. The current ranks are:
States of Jersey Police | UK Police Forces |
Chief Officer | Chief Constable |
Deputy Chief Officer | Deputy Chief Constable |
N/A | Assistant Chief Constable |
N/A | Chief Superintendent |
Superintendent | Superintendent |
Chief Inspector | Chief Inspector |
Inspector | Inspector |
Sergeant | Sergeant |
Constable | Constable |
The origins of the scales are historic. There was a major review in the 1970s or 1980s which led to a substantial increase in the scales for junior and middle ranking officers. Annual pay awards have been by negotiation and agreement with the States Employment Board and the Police Association, and occasionally by independent arbitration.
