Read our spring magazine

27 March 2023

The March edition of Welsh Matters, the magazine for the Police Federation’s Welsh affairs business area is out now.

Welsh affairs lead Nicky Ryan joins the calls for a 17 per cent pay rise for police officers to reflect the cost of living crisis and the cuts to wages over recent years.

Nicky, who is also the Federation’s Specials lead, pays tribute to the skills, expertise, and performance of Special Constables.

Police Federation adviser Mark Hinge examines the devolution of policing in Wales and where it currently sits on the political agenda.

There’s a focus on International Women’s Day, including the inspiring story of the Federation’s first deputy chair Tiff Lynch and her battle with cancer.

And there’s a round-up of the latest meeting of the Federation’s Welsh affairs committee, including calls from the Chief Constable of Dyfed Powys Police Dr Richard Lewis for the four Welsh forces to be merged into one force for Wales.
