Policing Welcome to the Policing Society! The Policing Society is back and better than ever for the 2025/26 academic year! Please bear with us whilst our new committee gets things up and running. We have so many exciting ideas and plans for the coming year, and we are hoping you'll join us for them! What can the policing society offer me? - An opportunity to meet new people: one of the most important things when joining university is meeting new people and finding a supportive community to help you through your studies. Whether you're a returning member or joining us for this year, we want to provide you with a safe space to find like-minded people and make some new friends! - A chance to attend a range of different socials: we're aiming to host a variety of different events and social nights from murder mystery nights, escape rooms and a few themed parties along the way! - Opportunities to practice and learn new and current skills: We aim to provide a space to help you improve on skills and prepare you for future careers. Learning new skills can boost your confidence and increase your skillset, and where better to do this than surrounded by people who want the same? - Chances to volunteer in activities and raise money for charities Do I have to be studying policing to join the society? Not at all! The Policing Society aims to build a safe space for anyone, even if what you've chosen to study at university isn't policing related. We want the Policing Society to thrive, which means the more the merrier! How do I sign up? In order to join our society, you'll need to buy a membership. To do this, you will first need to buy the union pass; this costs just £5 and then allows you to purchase our Society Membership. You aren't limited to one society; we understand you may have multiple interests! The union pass gives you access to a range of memberships across different societies. This year our membership fee is £5. This is a one-time fee that allows you to access all our society benefits. Once you join, the majority of our events throughout the year will be free to attend, as we aim to make things accessible for everyone. However, there may be some bigger events that occur a small extra fee, but these are not obligatory. As a society, we have a range of benefits waiting for us to help provide you with the best time at socials and events: - We can book rooms across the university campus, allowing for more private feeling events and a safe place for everyone. - We can apply for funding from the Union for activities, events and trips - We are able to purchase tickets for the Society Awards - We also have Accident Insurance All the money raised from the Union Pass goes straight back into supporting societies throughout the year - it's never spent on anything else. We hope you'll join us for this year and we can't wait to meet all of you, The Policing Society Committee 2025/26
