MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 16th August, 2018) About 2,000 police officers voluntarily left their posts in England and Wales over past 12 months, a 31 percent increase from 2014, citing insufficient wages, morale and the impact their work had on their personal lives, the Police Federation of England and Wales (PFEW) said in a press release.
"Nearly 2,000 police officers voluntarily quit the service over the past 12 months - an increase of 31% over the past four years. More than half (52.5%) cited morale as their reason for leaving. 43.8% said it was the impact of the job on their family/ personal life and 43.
3% on their psychological health. And a staggering 69.4% felt the police service had failed in its obligation to provide pay increases to maintain their standard of living," the press release, issued on Wednesday, said.

The number of people leaving police service in England and Wales has grown for the fourth consecutive year. According to the PFEW's figures, over 21,300 officers have quit voluntarily since 2010, which was then a 15 percent decline in police staff numbers.
