Joint Branch Boards

Each of the 43 police forces in England and Wales has a Constables’ Branch Board, a Sergeants’ Branch Board and an Inspectors’ Branch Board, each elected by the rank they represent.

Each board meets regularly to consider issues that affect their electorate, but much of their work is carried out when they meet together, forming a Joint Branch Board (JBB).

The JBB acts as the negotiation and consultative body when dealing with the Chief Constable, senior officers and the Police Authority, providing an effective link between officers and senior management.  They deal with the day-to-day problems officers face, and work to improve the status of the police service and its members.
