(b) Quarters
Although the problem of local inspectors living in Junior Police Officers' quarters has been resolved. through the acquisition of 93 new married quarters the Association remains unhappy at the decision not to include these quarters in the local inspectors pool.
(o) Complaints Against Police
Concern was expressed over the increasing number of false and malicious complaints and the perceived low level of prosecution in the case of the latter. Member were reminded that they could in some situatione seck redress through the civil courts and in appropriate cases the Association's legal advisers would be prepared to assist.
(d) Pay Level Survey
The LIA was critical of the Pay Level Survey as the special fe: tures of police work had not been taken into cnsideration. The survey was, in the Association view, incomplete and should not be applied to the Police Force. The Association was particularly critical of the Standing Commission on Civil Service Salaries and Conditions of Service.
(e) The New Pension Scheme
Although welcoming some aspects of the
New Pension Scheme, the introduction of a pension benefit on completion of 10 years service for example, the LIA expressed disappointment that other provisions seemed detrimental to police officers.
(f) The Leave and Passage Review
The Association considered that the proposed package of leave and passage benefits for overseas officers was far more generous than that offered to local officers and that the scheme was to the disadvantage of the latter.
Like the WIA the committe me bers of the LIA have a further 12 months in office before elections are held and it is anticipated that during that time the Association will concentrate its efforts on:
(a) pensions and future guarantees of payment,
(b) re-employment beyond the mandatory retirement age,
(c)
compensation schemes for local officers who do not wish to serve beyond 1997,
