The Police Covenant is a pledge to do more as a nation to help
those who serve this country and specifically to recognise the
bravery, commitment, and sacrifices of those who work or have
worked in policing.
The covenant aims to ensure that members or former members of the
police workforce in England and Wales are not disadvantaged as a
result of working in policing.
The covenant is a recognition by government, policing and society
as a whole, acknowledging the sacrifices made by those who work
or have previously worked in our police forces.
It is intended to ensure that officers, staff, volunteers and
their families are not disadvantaged as a result of their service
in the police and seeks to mitigate the impact that this may have
on day-to-day life.
In practical terms the covenant will:
- place a legal requirement on the government to report
annually to Parliament on issues relating to police welfare,
wellbeing and support
- aim to improve the working experience of people in policing
- help smooth the transition out of policing for police leavers
- provide support to the families of those working in policing
