Here for the Police. Here for the long term.

Life in the Police Service has changed a lot since we were set up in 1922. But one thing has stayed the same - we continue to put our members first. Today we have over 210,000 members of the Police Service trusting us with their savings, investments and insurance.

As policing continues to change, we've recognised your needs are changing too. So we've broadened our services to make sure we're as relevant to the Police today as we were 90 years ago.

Roland Smith

Police Mutual bought Roland Smith insurance brokers in 2007, bringing together two businesses that have strong established relationships with the Police Service and boosting the insurance product range that we offer our members.
