DPF Stance on Detached Duty Accommodation

The Defence Police Federation wish to advise all members that they are making robust representation regarding the quality of Detached Duty Accommodation. We would like to see a day when all accommodation is of the same standard as that expected by the Hotel Booking Service, however, at this moment in time this is a standard that we cannot enforce.

All members are reminded that accommodation must be suitable for purpose, i.e. clean, single sex ablutions, single occupancy etc. You are responsible for making this assessment at the time. If, due to health & Safety for example, it would be unsuitable to occupy a room say because of the noise levels, then you must bring this to the attention of the officer responsible. If you are not offered alternative accommodation then we will represent you in this area.

Every endeavour is made, by your Federation, to inspect all DD Accommodation, but where a problem does arise, please inform us as soon as possible.
