New Police Collective Agreement Signed

The police unions, Minister David van Weel of Justice and Security, and Chief of Police Janny Knol have today signed the new police collective agreement. Despite the complex social and administrative situation, the parties succeeded in reaching a balanced package of agreements well before the current collective agreement expires.

Minister David van Weel of Justice and Security: 'Today we have signed a balanced package with consideration for all people within the police organization. Police officers ensure the safety of us all on a daily basis. We ask a lot from our police officers and we reward that financially. We also take into account the sustainable employability of police staff and offer police staff the opportunity to retire early. This is necessary because police work is demanding, as they work hard for our society.'

Income

During the term of the new collective agreement, from December 1, 2025, to December 15, 2027, the following salary increases will be implemented:

As of December 1, 2025, the salary will be increased by 1%.
As of March 1, 2026, the salary will be increased by 2%.
As of September 1, 2026, the salary will be increased by 2%.
As of January 1, 2027, the salary will be increased by 2%.
As of July 1, 2027, the salary will be increased by 1.5%.

In total, there will be a salary increase of 8.5% during the term.

One-time payment

Police staff will also receive a one-time payment of € 1100 gross on December 1, 2025, and September 1, 2026. Furthermore, it has been agreed that the Individual Choice Budget (IKB) will be increased to € 500 net.

Sustainable employability and early retirement

The new collective agreement includes agreements aimed at ensuring that police staff remain sustainably employable throughout their police career. Additionally, parties have made targeted agreements regarding the possibility of early retirement for police staff with demanding jobs, born in 1962, 1963, 1964, and the first quarter of 1965. These agreements fit within the framework of the central agreement Healthy to Pension.

Other agreements

Furthermore, agreements have been made regarding entry and progression opportunities, career perspective, compensation for trainees, repayment of student debt, inclusion, sustainability, and police volunteers. In the coming period, parties will work on preparing the implementation of all agreements. The full text of the new agreement can be found below.
