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

The oldest county Force in the country, Wiltshire Police was formed in 1839 and is responsible for policing the county of Wiltshire and borough of Swindon in South West England.

Today, the Force is committed to making Wiltshire the safest county in the country and serves a population of 635,000 people across 1,346 square miles – from Swindon’s lively urban areas to the rolling countryside and iconic sites such as Stonehenge.

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 (PCSOs) 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.
