What people are saying about pay at West Yorkshire Police

  • Best thing

    Variety

    Worst thing

    Bad treatment as a ‘servant of the crown’. Pay not matching with private sector roles and inflation.

    Pay. Outside of this the long hours and lack of respect from public . No job satisfaction
