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
