Why Fewer Guardia Civil Officers Remain in the Balearic Islands — Key Questions and Solutions

Answer

Would a higher island allowance help keep police officers in the Balearic Islands?

A better island allowance could help, especially if it reflects real housing and living costs. But pay alone is unlikely to solve the problem if officers still struggle to find affordable places to live or support for their families. In Mallorca, financial incentives work best as part of a wider package.
