Up to 89 percent of the Nottinghamshire Police do not feel respected by the Government, a new report has revealed. Findings from the Police Federation’s 2022 pay and morale survey, which were published on January 11, also show almost one in five officers in Nottinghamshire Police who responded said they were planning to leave the service.
It has also revealed that just over half of the respondents would not recommend joining the police to others, while 66 percent said they did not feel valued within the police service. More than 40 percent found their job very or extremely stressful - and 84 percent have experienced feelings of stress, low mood, anxiety, or other difficulties with their health and wellbeing over the last 12 months.
Some 72 percent of Nottinghamshire officers felt morale across the Force was low or very low, compared to a national average of 87 percent. The Force with the highest number of officers with low or very low personal morale was Dorset Police with a figure approaching 70 percent.
