Financial support

There are a wide range of organisations that specialise in offering support to officers who may be facing financial difficulties.

"We would urge any officer who is struggling to manage their finances to seek help through one of these organisations or contact the Federation for more guidance on where advice can be sought," says Tony Wetton, chair of Derbyshire Police Federation.

"No officer should suffer in silence and, quite often, the sooner you seek help, the sooner any difficulties can be resolved."

Organisations that can help include:

No1 Copperpot Credit Union

PayPlan

Police Credit Union

Police Mutual

Reflect Financial 

Debt charity StepChange can also offer help and advice.

 

Officers should also ensure that their tax code reflects personal allowances available to Police Officers - Claim tax relief on your subscriptions (polfed.org)
