Review of police injury benefits: summary and analysis of consultation responses
This is the government's response to the police injury benefit consultation, which ran for 12 weeks and finished on 18 November 2008.
The police injury benefit system provides vital reassurance for police officers who may often face adverse and dangerous situations in their routine working day. However, the current system of provisions has been criticised for being difficult to understand and maintains criteria that are out of date and ill-suited to the demands of modern policing.
The broad aim of the new proposals was to ensure that the financial support currently given to police officers and their families for injury or death in the line of duty meets the conditions of modern policing, is properly targeted and is effectively administered.
Opinion was sought on 51 proposals and issues.
