About us

Hertfordshire Police Federation is the staff association for police constables, sergeants, inspectors (including chief inspectors) and Specials within Hertfordshire Constabulary.

Nationally, the Police Federation of England and Wales is one of the largest staff associations in the UK representing more than 140,000 members.

Established by the Police Act of 1919, the Police Federation was introduced to provide officers with a platform to bring their views on welfare and efficiency to the notice of the government and police authorities.

The Police Federation does what a trade union seeks to do for its members, but there are important differences. The Federation is controlled entirely by serving police officers and it is not affiliated or associated with any bodies outside the service and is completely independent of political parties.

It is the voice of the police service and campaigns tirelessly on behalf of members to ensure they are given a fair deal financially, legally and professionally.
