Jan Berry to join cops board

Jan Berry, former Chair of the Police Federation of England & Wales has been appointed a Trustee of Charity Care of Police Survivors. She joins Sir Hugh Orde and Chris Sims as a member of the Board and has been a strong supporter of the Charity since it was founded in 2003.

Speaking following the National Police Memorial Day Service in Glasgow Jan said: "COPS provides such reassurance and support to police survivors. It is a privilege to join the board and have the opportunity to ensure current and future survivors have access to the assistance they need."

COPS President Sue Brace added: "This is great news for COPS. Over the years Jan has got to know many of our survivors and has generously given her support and encouragement. As a Trustee she will bring a different perspective to the work of the Charity and I'm sure survivors will warmly welcome the news."
