Revenue model

1. Membership contributions: The union's primary revenue is from monthly membership contributions (contributie) paid by members. Standard members pay 0.7% of gross salary per month, with a minimum of €10.15 and maximum of €17.50. Senior/guest members pay a fixed €9.50/month, and partners of deceased members pay €13.41 per quarter. Revenue is collected via employer payroll deduction (incasso) or direct employer payment.
2. RAP tax rebate reimbursement: Members receive approximately 40% of their annual contribution back through the RAP (Reiskosten, Arbo en Pensioen) tax rebate scheme via the tax authority, effectively reducing the net cost of membership to only a few euros per month.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Regional players

• EuroCOP: European confederation of police unions representing police officers across Europe. Thematically comparable to ACP's police-specific advocacy role, but operating at a pan-European rather than national level.
• Police Federation of England and Wales: National police federation representing officers in England and Wales. Directly comparable in mission — police-officer advocacy, legal services, welfare support — but serving a UK jurisdiction.

Broad incumbents

• CNV (Christelijk Nationaal Vakverbond): ACP's parent federation following the 2026 merger, becoming ACP-CNV. CNV is a large Dutch multi-sector labor federation providing the scale, tax services, and lobbying platform that now underpins ACP.
• FNV: Largest Dutch trade union federation, broadly comparable in mission and member-service breadth (legal aid, training, collective bargaining). Operates as a multi-sector incumbent, not a police specialist.

Direct peers

• De Unie: Dutch independent union competing for members across multiple sectors including public safety. Shares a similar value proposition of personalized service and individual member support with ACP.
• VCP (Vakcentrale voor Professionals): Smaller Dutch labor federation also represented in CAO negotiations with the Dutch government. Comparable in advocacy/collective-bargaining role and member-services model to ACP-CNV.
• NVP (Nederlandse Politie Vakbond / VMHP): Direct Dutch police union competitor. Participates in the same CGOP and CAO negotiations as ACP, competing for the same police workforce membership.
• ANPV (Algemene Nederlandse Politiebond): Direct competitor of ACP in the Dutch police labor market. ANPV negotiates alongside ACP in the police CAO process and competes for the same Dutch National Police membership base.
