Could anyone in authority or anyone at all please help me to understand or justify the $1,000 extra members of the Police Service have started to generously receive courtesy the new Government? I ask this because most of these officers have little or no public relations skills or respect for civilians.
I am a public servant and everyone would be familiar with the current battle for a salary increase, yet these officers, many of whom, based on their qualifications, would struggle to gain employment in the public service, have been handed $1,000 extra and on top of that have to have an increase in their salary through salary negotiations.
Most of these officers abuse their entitlements, use police cars for their personal use and "pull rank" on us civilians, yet they are handsomely compensated. Therefore, in future, I would suggest to Anand Ramesar, the police hierarchy and the Government, whenever the police lose a case in which compensation has to be paid to the victim, these well paid officers should foot the bill themselves.
