The Government of Grenada is pleased to announce the ratification of an agreement with the Royal Grenada Police Force Negotiating Team (RGPFNT) on salary increases for the years 2024 and 2025.
The agreement, ratified on 11 May 2023, makes the RGPFNT the second of 7 bargaining units to accept Government’s offer for increases in salaries/wages; the Grenada Union of Teachers being the first.
The RGPFNT accepted increases in salaries of 4% and 5% for the years 2024 and 2025. The public is reminded that in 2020, the RGPFNT signed to receive salary increases of 4% for the year 2023.
