REPS SPOTLIGHT
TWO OFFICERS, ONE SHARED MISSION
Jackie Johnson and Tracy Mills bring empathy, experience,
and edge to Federation work, offering a lifeline to officers navigating the toughest parts of the job
In a time when policing feels more complex and more scrutinised than ever, two Thames Valley Police officers are stepping forward to remind their colleagues that they’re not alone. Jackie Johnson and Tracy Mills may come from different backgrounds and stages in their careers, but both serve as Federation representatives with a shared purpose: to protect, support, and speak up for those who wear the uniform. From Jackie’s decades-long journey rooted in a childhood promise to fight injustice, to Tracy’s front-line passion for making the Federation more accessible and representative, their stories are redefining what it means to stand up for your colleagues.

I would touch down in a school wearing the wrong colour uniform over and over again. One of my first challenging moments was when I was seven, this was in 1969. I was wearing blue uniform, the school colour was red. A teacher stopped me in the corridor aggressively demanding to know why I was in the wrong colour. Even as such a small child I was
indignant. It was so clear to me that the colour of my uniform was not within my control, and I knew that it was a miracle
