In this edition of Fed News, find all the latest news and views from those connected to your Federation as we say hello to spring.

 

This issue is jam-packed with stories from branch members, including an officer who candidly discusses the process of adjusting to professional life after a misconduct investigation that lasted almost three years.

 

We also hear from two frontline officers who were put in serious danger when assaulted by a member of the public - resulting in one of them being dragged along by a vehicle.

 

There are also interviews with a mental health champion who discusses plans to support his colleagues after turning his border terrier into an official Force wellbeing dog, and a talented rugby player who looks back on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity representing the police national team on a tour of South Africa.

 

Elsewhere, you can hear from branch officials, including vice chair Matt Paisley and secretary Ben Hudson, as they provide commentary on some of the most pressing matters in the profession right now.

Plus, we speak to a pair of members as they reflect on this year's Ramadan, offering insight into working in policing during the holy period.

 

All this and more has been packed into the spring 2026 issue of your Suffolk Police Federation magazine, keeping you in touch with an organisation proud to represent you.
