The Scottish Police Federation, led by General Secretary David Kennedy, has commissioned a new film to shine a light on the everyday realities and challenges faced by police officers in Scotland.

In recent times, UK police have been portrayed negatively due to isolated incidents, but this film aims to shift the focus back to the vital and selfless work officers do, often at great personal risk.

“The media coverage doesn’t reflect the full picture,” says Kennedy. “Our officers face trauma daily, risking their lives to protect the public. It’s crucial that the public understands this reality.”
