Officers’ Legal Protection

Serving the needs of serving officers and their families.

Officers’ Legal Protection is a specialist legal expenses insurance product specifically designed to protect serving officers and their family members living at home.

Off duty cover

From the pursuit or defence of claims including criminal charges, representation on disciplinary hearings, public enquiries and inquests, investigations by the Independent Office for Police Conduct to cases of wrongful arrest.

This specialist policy provides legal and advisers’ costs to support members in the pursuit or defence of claims – giving officers one less thing to worry about during what can be a stressful time.

Support for non-duty related matters

Legal costs and advisors’ fees are also covered for a number of personal matters and disputes relating to employment, property, tenancy, consumer, tax probate and identity fraud and social media defamation.
