This Guide provides a basic summary of your main terms and conditions. It is not intended to be exhaustive, nor can it be considered a substitute for the Police Regulations and Determinations, which govern your terms and conditions of appointment. This Guide has been updated in line with Police Regulations 2003 and determinations, as at October 2009. In case of particular concerns please contact your Joint Branch Board.
Your Joint Branch Board
Your Joint Branch Board (JBB) is comprised of three separate Branch Boards – which cover separately Constables (CBB), Sergeants (SBB) and Inspectors and Chief Inspectors (IBB).
Your representative is elected by ballot from constituencies agreed with the chief officer and elections take place triennially. The next elections are due to be held at the end of 2010.
Your National Federation
At the Police Federation Conference every three years members are elected to the three national rank committees: the Constables’ Central Committee, the Sergeants’ Central Committee and the Inspectors’ Central Committee. The next triennial elections will take place in 2011.
The Joint Central Committee comprises the Constables’ Central Committee, the Sergeants’ Central Committee and the Inspectors’ Central Committee sitting together.
All police cadets, constables, sergeants, inspectors and chief inspectors are automatically members of the Police Federation of England and Wales under the Police Act 1996.
Only those members of the Police Federation who contribute to the voluntary fund can access the wide range of services offered to contributing members. The importance of these services to members is reflected by the fact that 99% of officers contribute.
