Police Scotland – About Us
Police Scotland was established on 1 April 2013 and is responsible for policing across the whole of Scotland, some 28,168 square miles, covering a third of the United Kingdom’s landmass with a unique range of urban, rural, island and remote communities. It is the second largest force in the UK after the Metropolitan Police with a workforce of 23,000 officers and staff working together for the people of Scotland. Police Scotland’s purpose is to improve the safety and wellbeing of people, places and communities in Scotland, focusing on Keeping People Safe in line with our values of Integrity, Fairness, Respect and Human Rights.
The Service is led by the Chief Constable, supported by a command team of Deputy Chief Constables, a Deputy Chief Officer, Assistant Chief Constables and Directors. There are 13 local policing divisions, each headed by a Chief Superintendent who ensures that local policing in each area is responsive, accountable and tailored to meet local needs. Each division encompasses response officers, community officers, local crime investigation, public protection and local intelligence. The local policing divisions are supported by a number of national specialist divisions.
Calls from the public are handled by our Contact, Command and Control Division with Area Control Rooms at four locations across the country which deploy resources. Our people are supported by corporate functions including People and Development, Finance and Corporate Communications. The headquarters of Police Scotland is based at the Scottish Police College, Tulliallan, in Fife. The Scottish Police Authority (SPA) was established at the same time as Police Scotland and it is responsible for maintaining policing, promoting policing principles and the continuous improvement of policing in Scotland.
