Welcome to
Metropolitan Police Federation

The Metropolitan Police Federation is the staff association to which every constable, sergeant, inspector and chief inspector in the Metropolitan Police Service belongs - a total of more than 30,000 officers.

Its job is to represent its members' interests in all matters affecting their welfare and efficiency, including conditions of employment, and it carries considerable influence.

In common with other police forces' Federations, it is affiliated to the Police Federation of England and Wales.
