Police Pay

Founder, PolicePay

Andrew Thomas

Andrew Thomas founded and runs PolicePay, an independent website of calculators and plain-English guides on pay, pensions and careers for UK police officers, police staff and people joining the police.

What he does at PolicePay

  • Directs and checks the site's content before it is published.
  • Writes the PolicePay news desk: same-day explainers on official pay, pension, careers and workforce news.
  • Reads and replies to Get help enquiries sent through the site.

How the work is done

PolicePay is not part of any police force, the Police Federation, a union or the Home Office. Figures come from published pay scales, regulations and official statistics. Each guide and news item names its sources. Some drafting uses AI writing tools, directed and checked before publishing; our AI use disclosure explains how.

The rules Andrew works to are in our editorial policy, including the news standards, our source policy and our corrections policy. Nothing on the site is regulated financial or legal advice.
