A two-year pay deal for police officers in Scotland from 2025-2027 has been agreed.

The agreement will see police officers receive a 4% pay increase from April 2025 to March 2026 followed by a further 3.5% increase from April 2026 to March 2027. The same uplift applies to a range of allowances and expenses for officers.
