Ahead of the retirement of DPA President Simon Nelson at the end of 2022 and elections at the 2023 Annual General Meeting, we are delighted to introduce Inspector Tracy Betts from Essex Police as the person chosen by the Executive Committee to fulfil the role of DPA Interim President.

Tracy brings much lived and professional experience as well as commitment to the role, and we wish her well when she officially takes on her new post on the 24th November.

Tracy comments: “I’m thrilled and grateful to have been selected to join the Disabled Police Association as Interim President, taking over from Superintendent Simon Nelson later this year. His are big shoes to fill, but I’m sure with the help and support of the incredibly talented and capable Executive Committee and support networks throughout the country, we can take the DPA to the next level and continue to make positive and meaningful change to the working lives of our members, and for the public they serve.”

Tracy will be attending the Annual Conference and looks forward to meeting delegates in person. ∎
