<p>The independent Senior Salaries Review Body (SSRB) makes recommendations to the
Government on the pay of Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs). PCCs are currently
placed into five salary groups aligned to the 12 force weightings used to govern chief
constables’ pay. The current PCC pay bands range from £68,200 to £101,900.</p><p>
</p><p>PCC pay has increased twice since 2012, with uplifts taking effect from 1 May
2018 and 1 May 2022. SSRB reviews in the 2014/15 and 2015/16 pay rounds recommended
that the rates of pay should remain unchanged in those years.</p><p> </p><p>PCC pay
has increased by 2% to 5% since November 2012. Chief police officer pay has increased
by 22% to 27%. PCC pay remains above that for chief inspectors, which ranges from
£64,449 to £67,017.</p><p> </p><p>In its last review, the SRRB recommended adjustments
to PCC remuneration, including reducing the current five groups to three. The recommendations
were not accepted by the Government at that time, who concluded the issue should be
considered when the future structure of chief police officer pay is settled. The next
review of PCC pay is scheduled to take place in the 2025/26 pay round.</p>
