About us

The Police Treatment Centres are a long-established and respected registered charity.

Founded in 1897 with the aim of supporting Police Officers in need, The Police Treatment Centres is a charity committed to helping the serving police workforce and retired police officers recover from injury, illnesses or health conditions (sustained on or off duty) and promoting the wellbeing of the policing profession.

We operate two Centres in Auchterarder and Harrogate, with state of the art facilities, and a multidisciplinary team of experts including physiotherapists, fitness instructors, nurses, counsellors and complementary therapists.

In addition to our residential physiotherapy and psychological wellbeing programmes, we deliver a range of online programmes, including specialist support for women’s health issues and officers taking job related fitness tests.

Our charity has been providing rest and recuperation for police officers since the late 19th Century, and we currently welcome around 4,000 members of the policing profession to our well-equipped treatment Centres each year.

Supported by voluntary contributions from the policing profession, and led by an experienced Board of Trustees, we have continually evolved to adapt to the changing nature of modern policing.
