- Reference Number: 2029
- Date released: 30 July 2009
Request
- The documents listed below and many more available on the web,
all a matter of public record, refer to inter alia, "Chief Officer
Bonus Scheme, Bonus Schemes, Personal performance objectives,
assessing performance and awarding bonuses", and many other
references covering the general subject of bonuses or rewards over
and above normal salary.
How many police officers in Cheshire, including Chief Police
Officers and all lower ranks, (and again I note your point that as
far as the ACPO is concerned I should write directly to the
Cheshire Police Authority which I will now do), are potentially
covered by any such Bonus or any sort of reward scheme, and/or how
many have any sort or reasonable expectation of consideration for
inclusion in a bonus and / or reward scheme, whether or not subject
to conditions, and whether or not any bonus or reward has actually
been paid, in each of the three years 2006/7, 2007/8 and 2008/2009,
and what were/are the grades of those officers?
- Assuming the answer to Question 1 is 1 or more in any year, and
bonuses / rewards were actually paid, what are the totals of those
bonuses / rewards, split by grade of officer or job title, in each
of the years mentioned in question 1?
- If the answer to Question 1 is 1 or more, were there any
performance targets attached to the bonuses / rewards, and if so
what are the details of those targets, and what values, indices,
statistics or other measurement data were used for evaluation of
those targets, whether or not any bonuses or rewards were paid, in
each of the three years?

year
You will note that the above information covers the years 2007
& 2008 being the latest we have available. As an updated
version becomes available this will be published on our web site
under the Freedom of Information Publication Scheme.
Question 3
I would refer you to the policy, above. I would add that
allowances are an entitlement if criteria for payment is met.
Bonuses and rewards are discretionary. No bonus or reward payment
is target driven. No member of staff can claim a bonus or reward as
an entitlement.
