Employment Bands - 1038/19

Provision of information held by Northumbria Police made under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the 'Act')

As you may be aware the purpose of the Act is to allow a general right of access to information held at the time of a request, by a Public Authority (including the Police), subject to certain limitations and exemptions.

You asked:

1. I would like to find out the number of staff in each employment band (e.g. constables, inspectors etc. as well as various support staff) and
2. the average salary paid in each band. Also,
3. if you could include both the figures with and without national insurance and any regional allowances you use that would be most helpful.

In Response:

Following receipt of your request, searches were conducted with the Finance and Human Resources Departments of Northumbria Police. I can confirm that the information you have requested is held in part by Northumbria Police.

 

I am able to disclose the located information to you as follows.

I can advise we do hold information on the ‘average’ salary by rank and grade. The tables below show the average by grade based on the salary paid to officers and staff in July 2019 which includes shift allowances, enhancements and any other adjustments.
