Welcome to the RPOAS
We have twelve regional Branches, covering the length & breadth of Scotland. Each Branch organises regular local meetings, get-togethers and social events, presenting members with ideal opportunities for catching up with colleagues old & new. You have to be a member of a Branch to take advantage of any RPOAS member benefits (such as travel insurance). Please note that, geographically, the Branches do not all align with the boundaries of what were the eight Scottish police force areas, so please check our BRANCHES page to see which one might be a good fit for you.
This website aims to:
- help our members across the county (and beyond!) to keep in touch and stay connected.
- provide our members with news & information of interest, including Obituary notifications.
- highlight various BENEFITS that are available to our members –
- help from our Signposters relating to welfare & wellbeing,
- access to travel insurance,
- offers of financial services,
- access to learning opportunities,
- various retail offers & discounts,
- offers of employment & volunteering opportunities
(if you’re not a member – why not join us?).
Pages & Posts
In addition to our web pages, we also publish information & items of interest as POSTS (aka blogs / articles).You can read all of our POSTS by going to the POSTS page – or by navigating to one of our three dedicated POSTS sub-pages – Obituaries, Tributes, News.
