CASH-STRAPPED cops are set to get an extra £2,000 a year to try to stop a recruitment crisis because of the high cost of living in Bucks.
Thames Valley Police officers who joined the force after 1994 are likely to get the living allowance boost under new plans agreed by the Police Negotiating Board (PNB) on Thursday.
Chief Constable Sir Charles Pollard has welcomed the allowance but says that there is still much to be done to help officers and to resolve the problem.
