"This is on top of the redundancy process they undertook to cut payroll costs further. If the service finds itself with money to play with, we would welcome news on our pay claim more than hearing about the -recruitment of these posts when we are already seeing police officer numbers fall to levels not seen in over a decade."
The adverts reveal details of the -investigations including "Operation Koper which relates to deaths during Covid within care, health and custody settings" and "Operation Chalk which relates to non-recent reports of abuse within the care setting".
