- Where We Are Our Address and directions
What We DoWe represent police officers below the rank of Superintendent in matters affecting their welfare and efficiency. Our membership is approximately 139,000. The Police Act of 1919 and subsequent legislation established the Federation.
The Federation is non-political and administered entirely by serving officers, who are elected at national and local levels for three-year terms. The Joint Central Committee (national executive) is elected by the Federation's central conferences.
Police pay and conditions are negotiated centrally by the Police Negotiating Board (PNB), which consists of the Home Office and Police authorities on the official side, and the service associations on the staff side. Non negotiable subjects, e.g. promotions, training and discipline, are dealt with through the Police Advisory Board.
Each force has an autonomous Police Federation; members of each rank in a district or department elect a representative to the Branch Board (Committee) for their rank. A seat is reserved on all committees and boards of the federation for an elected woman officer.
The separate boards sit together as the Joint Branch Board. The Joint Branch Board has access to senior management by way of formal meetings at the Joint Negotiating and Consultative Committee, and formally at local level.
Federation voluntary funds provide services to subscribing members at a cost of £17.55 per calendar month. Local officials assist members in pensions and social security matters. A death benefit of £2,730 is paid to the descendants of a deceased member.
The federation publishes the monthly magazine 'Police'. Your local branch board publishes a member magazine 'Insight'. The Police Federation is wholly committed to equal opportunities and to enhancing quality of service to the public.
