Do you know your rights?
ESSEX Police Federation is upping a campaign to ensure officers know their rights around working hours and conditions.
It’s running polls as part of an internal ‘Know Your Rights’ campaign every Sunday – to test officers knowledge of Police Regulations – before debriefing the subject and giving the answer from actual Police Regulations and policy.
Steve Taylor, Chair of Essex Police Federation, said: “What we are keen on and what we’ve started to do in Essex and which the National Federation are going to start to push is ‘Know Your Rights’.
“It will be ‘this is what the regulations are for officers and this the Essex interpretation of them’.
“It will be asking officers ’Are you aware of that? Are you claiming what you should claim? Are you getting the support that’s available to you through regulations and through the organisation?
“It’s something we’re really keen to push for.”
The internal campaign has already been running on Facebook for several weeks and officers are being urged to take part by contacting the Federation office for details on how to join the group.
