Welcome to the WA Police Union of Workers Website

The WA Police Union was established in 1912 making this year its 100th year.  As it has throughout its history, the Union continues to protect the rights, interests and welfare of its 5,700 members – virtually all of the police officers in WA Police.

Our website informs the public about the Union’s work as a partner with WA Police in providing the best possible community protection and law and order services.

The members section also provides up to date information for members on services and benefits as well as the latest newsletters, media releases and the Union’s bi-monthly magazine ‘WA Police News’.

The Board-elect of the WA Police Union today elected George Tilbury as President of the Union for the next three years.

The three remaining executive positions were won by:

Vice President – Brandon Shortland

Deputy Vice President -- Jon Groves

Treasurer – Michael Kelly

Incumbent President Russell Armstrong will retain the presidency and remain Union spokesman until the end of the Union’s annual conference in June.

Mr Armstrong congratulated the four chosen to fill the executive, wishing them well for their three year term.

President-elect George Tilbury said it was an honour and a privilege to be elected the new WA Police Union President.

“I intend to work hard and will do what is in the best interests of our 6000 members,” he said.

“I have a great support team and look forward to leading the Union into a new era.

‘’I would like to thank Russell Armstrong and the outgoing Board for all of their hard work over the last three years.”

Mr Tilbury has been a police officer for 21 years and he has been active in the Union for 17 years, serving on the Board of Directors for the past six years.

The Australian Electoral Commission conducted the ballot and all 15 of the Directors-elect participated.
