Personally,I feel that the pay rise does not solve the root of the problem.The pay rise may keep the older members on the team but may not attract new blood when there are jobs with better pay around.
Also,the basic problem for the low morale is the lack of confidence from the public,if the public's confidence is restored,then there will be people willing to join the team.
Although the council hopes that just by increasing the pay,the morale of the team will be better,then they may be wrong.From the few cases of police officers gambling and handling travellers,we can see that the mindset of the officers need to be corrected.They need to define right from wrong,and their duties from what they ought not to do.
Still,this is a good start.Although it does not thoroughly solve the morale question,it does bring to the public that being a police officer can be another choice to consider,and new blood may be introduced through this.
