Glasgow Central and West

On these pages you can meet our community policing teams and find out what we’ve been doing in Glasgow Central and West.

Divisional snapshot

Working together and building a safer community for our 133,960 population is a round-the-clock exercise. Indeed, add to that some 400,000 workers, shoppers and tourists coming to this vibrant city each day, plus 100,000 visitors to 800 licensed premises at the weekends and it’s easy to see why we never sleep.
 
The area extends westwards from Glasgow Cross to Drumchapel, Blairdardie, Temple, Scotstounhill and high Knightswood and from the River Clyde northwards to the M8 motorway and Great Western Road.

There are two sub divisions in Glasgow Central and West:

• Glasgow Central – includes the city centre, Merchant City, Anderston City, and Yorkhill
• Glasgow West – includes Woodlands, Hillhead, Hyndland, Dowanhill, Partick, Anniesland (South), Jordanhill, Whiteinch, Broomhill, Drumchapel, Blairdardie, Yoker, Scotstoun, Knightswood, Temple and Anniesland (North)

Chief Superintendent Anne McGuire is divisional commander and is responsible for local policing strategy.  She is based at divisional headquarters in Stewart Street.
