As the saying goes, ‘The more things change, the more they stay the same’.
Police officers in England and Wales can be forgiven for feeling that way as we reach the halfway point in 2026.
With a new Prime Minister due to be confirmed shortly, the Cheshire Police Federation returns to discuss what that might mean for policing – including the challenges presented by changing faces at Government level.
For this episode, host Andrew Simpson is joined by branch chairman Jamie Thompson and Anna Galloway, full-time Wellbeing and Equality Lead and newly-appointed vice-chair.
The trio talk about police courage, how the local branch supported one of the biggest operations in the Cheshire Constabulary’s history back in April, and their expectations for the next police pay award.
In evidence presented for consideration by the Police Remuneration Review Body, the Police Federation of England and Wales has asked for a minimum seven per cent consolidated rise for each of the next three years.
