Personal injury service for Police Federation members
You're covered for all injuries and accidents, both on and off duty, excluding road traffic accidents. Cover also extends to members of your family injured in the same or separate incidents.

We're experienced in helping officers in all areas of personal injury, either on or off duty, and with us, your claim won't cost you or the Police Federation anything - even if the claim is unsuccessful - as we take all the risk. If your claim is successful, you'll retain 100% of your damages.
