It is police support staff who make the police
tick. UNISON's 27,000 members work in everything from admin and
front desk roles to forensics and photography.
Our members work in every police force in the UK,
except Northern Ireland and the Met.
How we organise
In UNISON you are always a member of a branch that
brings you together with other employees who do similar kinds
of work or face common issues in their workplaces. Members elect
workplace stewards and safety reps and vote for branch officers.
Every branch is supported by its nearest UNISON regional centre,
where staff work with elected lay members.
Each UNISON branch elects its own reps to attend
the UNISON National Delegate conference and vote on behalf of
all local branch members.
In Scotland UNISON police members are covered by
the Police Support Staff Council (PSSC) Scotland. The PSSC sets
national terms and conditions for police support staff. The Staff
Side Secretary is Peter Veldon, who can be contacted at the UNISON
Edinburgh Office - p.veldon@unison.co.uk
The following staff groups also meet together under
the UNISON umbrella: National Crime Squad members/National Criminal
Intelligence Service members Forensic Group of UNISON members
Service Delivery Working Party - five members of the police service
group executive Traffic Warden members group.
