As police officers, the Police Federation for ranks from Constable to Chief Inspector; for Superintendents and Chief Superintendents the Chief Superintendents Assocation; and for Chief Constables, Assistant Chief Constables and Deputy Chief Constables, the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO). This last body is representing to government the views of chief officers, and improving collaboration between Forces, whereas the Federation is akin to a trades union, though union membership is regulated and there is no right to strike.
Police Forces are monitored and accountable to Police Authorities, which are made up of locally elected councillors, with the composition broadly in line with the balance of political power on the council, plus the "great and the good" from the criminal justice arena in that area, eg magistrates, experts in criminal justice, etc.
PS The City of London Police, and the British Transport Police do not exactly fit the above.

The police federation represents officers on disciplinary matters and wage disputes rather like a trade union, but by law they are not allowed to strike

there is no 1 particular body. Each police force has its own e.g the metropolitan police force in london, i governed by the MPA (met police authority)
