KEY MESSAGE

Throughout Section UK, members who have access to the internet are taking on responsibility for managing their own membership profile record. By doing so, they guarantee all communication sent from BSAC, Region or Branch reaches them on time and when relevant. They also help the Section create a profile of the broader membership which in turn helps the National Executive Committee (NEC) develop services and future strategy. Please keep your profile updated by visiting the Edit Profile page in the members’ section of the website. There, you will see a form similar to fig 3 below and printed right. Please amend any out-of-date information. Members without access to the internet can complete the form printed right, cut it out or photocopy it, and mail it to BSAC. Please only submit forms if you know your record is out of date.

Would you like to receive Police World Magazine? Yes No (Removing the tick on the web form indicates you wish to cancel the mailed copy and are happy to receive a notification that Police World is available as a download instead). * Date of Joining – please check the date of joining shown on your new IPA membership card. If it reads 1.1.1995 then you need to update the records at BSAC. The reason the date is incorrect goes back to 1995 when all member records were imported from a database which held basic data sufficient only for mailing out to members and collecting their direct debit from the bank. There were a lot of gaps on records, including first names, gender profile, date of birth and date of joining. Unfortunately, the correct date of joining is still missing from some members’ records.
