The Federation would love to hear your stories of your time as a serving officer. In particular they are looking for stories around these subjects:
- Officers that served during key moments in policing history;
- Female officers that can remember the equal pay act coming in;
- Reflections on how different policing was in the past;
- Amusing stories about the uniform, personal protection equipment, police stations etc.;
- Recognition/awards given/special commendations;
- Special moments in your policing career – e.g. helping someone special
- How the Federation may have helped you.

06/08/18 Endemol Shine North documentary
Please see the below request, which may be of interest to Members. Anyone wishing to take part should make direct contact with Laura Robinson.
Endemol Shine North are currently producing a documentary series as part of a returning series for Channel 5 looking at gangs in the UK. We want to look behind the big stories we see in the press, decrypt the rivalries, culture and language of modern gangs. I would like to stress that we are not glamorising crimes of gangs, but the audience want to know why they exist and whether the stories they see are the reality. To do this we need to speak to those with first-hand experience who understand the inner workings of these gangs.
As such, I’m hoping to have the chance to speak to any members who have worked on any gang related cases. We are currently focussing on gang activity in Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Bradford and Glasgow but I’d be interested in speaking with anyone who would be happy to share their experiences with me.
There is of course no obligation to take part, at this stage I simply hope to speak with people for my background research purposes. Please be assured that any contact and conversations will be treated with the strictest confidence.
If anyone would be happy to share their experiences with me, or would like to find out more I can be contacted by email: laura.robinson@esnorth.tv or tel: 0203 972 7462.
Many thanks,
Laura Robinson (Assistant Producer Endemol Shine North TV)
