Wiltshire Police

With some 1,200 police officers and 1,000 police staff working around the clock, Wiltshire Police has a unique place in the history of policing.

The oldest force in the country, Wiltshire Police was formed in 1839 and is responsible for policing the county of Wiltshire and borough of Swindon. The Force is committed to making Wiltshire the safest county in the country.

Wiltshire Police is led by Chief Constable Brian Moore, who is supported by a team of five chief officers. The day-to-day policing services are delivered through two territorial divisions, each headed by a Chief Superintendent and supported by specialist units including highly trained police dogs and air support.

Working with local communities is an essential part of modern policing and the Force has established 90 Neighbourhood Policing Teams, consisting of police officers, police community support officers (PSCOs) and special constables, who work closely with partner agencies to ensure the people of Wiltshire are kept safe and satisfied with the service they receive.
