NARPO represents the interests of in excess of 81,000 former police officers of all ranks and their widows, widowers and former partners. Our primary concern is to promote measures for the welfare of our members with particular regard to pensions. In promoting those aims we take a general interest in all issues affecting the health and well being of older people in society.
We are active members of the Public Service Pensioners Council, the National Pensioners Convention and AGE, the European Platform for Older People. In addition we have close associations with several charities supporting both the police and older people.
NARPO are in a position to comment on a range of issues, not only pensions, from the perspective of the older person. We are in a particularly informed position to comment on policing and police related issues from the position of both former practitioners and current users of the service.

At a time when the Government are cutting back on public services and relying on the private sector to meet the challenges of providing services to the Community in many of those areas where the public sector cut backs have reduced services, the National Association of Retired Police Officers (NARPO) believes, the news that G4S have failed to meet their target for security personnel at the Olympic Games must leave us all concerned about the future.
The National Association of Retired Police Officers (NARPO) has been watching with interest the recent developments in policing and was surprised not only at the Home Secretary’s choice of candidate for Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Constabulary (HMCIC) but also at the comment that he was head and shoulders above any other candidate.
The National Association of Retired Police Officers has expressed its disappointment at plans announced by the Chancellor to scrap age-related tax allowance for pensioners.

The National Association of Retired Police Officers (NARPO) continues to be concerned at the current inaction of the Home Office in rectifying a problem that they created for elderly, injured retired police officers in several forces throughout England and Wales. In 2004 the Home Office issued advice to Forces that they reduce the pensions of all former officers injured on duty to the lowest level at age 65 years of age or older.
