About us

Kent Police Federation is the staff association of the Kent Police which represents 3,800 Police Officers who provide a policing service to the people of Kent. 

Kent Police Federation provides assistance to its members, all Police Officers below the rank of Superintendent.

Our core purpose was amended in May 2014 for the first time since the Federation was set up in 1919, following a recommendation in our Independent Review for it to reflect our commitment to act in the public interest, with public accountability, alongside our accountability to our members.

In fulfilling our statutory responsibilities for the welfare and efficiency of our members we will, at all levels:

• ensure that our members are fully informed and that there is the highest degree of transparency in decision-making and the use of resources.
• maintain exemplary standards of conduct, integrity and professionalism.
• act in the interests of our members and the public, seeking to build public confidence in the police service and accepting public accountability for our use of public money.
• work together within the Federation and in partnership with others in the policing world to achieve our goals.
