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.
The reality is that the Fed is a tool that we all as officers have access to. Are they good? you ask.
I think that depends on what you need them for. If you pay into the federation (which in reality you should be doing in this current climate) they will give you cover if you ever get arrested. On the other hand if you subsequently have a GM they will make a decision if they think they can win, if they think its less than 50% chance of winning you're on your own.
Coupled with the ongoing issues surrounding funding, membership, leadership I understand why some have decided to opt against joining.

So I really wanted to put a list of names and details of decent Reps on here, unfortunately I cannot do that with the current legislation behind sensitive data. The link below will direct you to the Met Fed website which will give details of reps and more.
