Police Remuneration Review Body
The Police Remuneration Review Body (PRRB) is a United Kingdom Review Body that makes independent recommendations on pay and terms and conditions of employment of the police in England and Wales to the Government. It is funded by the Home Office, and the Office of Manpower Economics provides the Board with an independent Secretariat. It replaced the Police Negotiating Board (PNB) on 1 October 2014, which remained active in Scotland.
Anita Bharucha was appointed as Chair of the body for a three-year term in December 2018 by Theresa May.[1]
