You need big salaries to attract talented people to do anything. Pay them more and the levels of professionalism will increase. Also make it easier to remove state workers not performing.

So the top 1 percent as a group, the value includes pension and benefits, so the top 1 percent get paid over twice the median income in London.

As others have said, that’s the salary that these roles demand. Paying the ‘Director of Communications and Engagement’ £200,450 seems a lot, but that’s what it costs to recruit a leading profesional with significant responsibilities for a £4.2 billion organisation that faces significant media scrutiny.

I’m dont quite understand the fuss … my manager gets paid more than that, and he runs an R&D team nowhere near London.
If anything, for high level management in London it’s quite low, and I’m pretty sure the Met doesn’t offer stock options.

If they are at the top of their field and saving lives, solving some of the hardest crimes then what’s the issue? At least, they do work and contribute to society unlike our MPs and lords.

Good? The top police in one of the most demanding forces deserve a high salary

So 350 (max) officers on over 100k, in an organisation of about 54k people, in the countrys most expensive city?
Ok? What’s the problem

> Titles on the highly-paid list included: an interim director of strategy and transformation on £177,610; a director of programme productivity review on £143,307; a director of service delivery on £192,657; a director of solution delivery on £196,712; and a director of communications and engagement, earning £200,450.
Errr these people do not sound like “cops.” They sound more like departmental directors. Probably because of the “director” in the job title.
