Branch makes special delivery during hot weather

25 June 2025

Derbyshire Police Federation have provided refreshments to officers during the recent heatwave.

Branch chair Lisa Flanagan and secretary Chris Parker visited Federation members at police stations and scenes around the Force with food and drinks.

Lisa said: “Staying cool can be difficult for officers when they are working long shifts during hot weather, especially if they are kitted out in PPE and dark uniforms.

“As a Federation, we are dedicated to showing our support for their welfare and wellbeing by visiting officers with much-needed refreshments.

“We received positive feedback from officers on the ground, who said it was the first time in a long time they have seen the Federation supporting them when they feel the struggles of policing.

“Summer is always a busy time for policing. We’ll continue to visit officers during those long, hot days and while there is summer demand."

Lisa ended by reminding officers that 'this is their Federation'.

She said: "I want our members to know that we are always there to support them and their welfare.”
