Public and Commercial Services Union

There are over 9,500 members in the Met Police at present.

We are one of the fastest growing groups in the union. Membership has more than doubled in the last four years.

The Met Police Group has its own democratic structure. The main policy making body is the group executive committee (GEC).

Group executive committee

The GEC is made up of representatives from all grades and bands. There are 20 seats on the GEC. These include:

• President
• Vice president
• Organiser
• Treasurer
• Six assistant group secretaries
• Ten ordinary members

The group secretary is the full-time officer of the union and works from PCS HQ in London. See HQ2 for more information.

The GEC is supported by a number of sub-committees and grade advisory committees.

The GEC is also supported by a network of twelve branches based on geographic location.

Branch executive committee

The branch executive committee (BEC) is directly responsible for its local membership. Each BEC has up to ten seats including branch chair, secretary,organiser and treasurer.

Each branch is funded by the PCS national union.

PCS strives for a representative in every workplace.

Elections are held every February or March for local branches. The GEC is also elected each year in May. All members vote for all seats in an individual postal ballot.

There is an annual group conference and branches are entitled to send delegates.
