Your Community

Effective policing isn’t just about enforcement.  It’s about working in and with our communities to identify and solve problems.

That’s why we’ve restructured our community policing – so that it’s easier for you to know who we are, what we do and how to get in touch with us.

Local policing in Strathclyde is divided into eight geographical areas – known as divisions – each covering a number of multi-member council wards.  Every division has its own headquarters. 

Each division is served by a number of community policing teams.  These teams are built around the needs of local people.  They are responsible for responding to calls in the local area, as well as looking for long term solutions to key issues.

The eight divisions in Strathclyde are:             

• Argyll, Bute and West Dunbartonshire  
• Ayrshire  
• Glasgow Central and West   
• Glasgow North East and East Dunbartonshire  
• Glasgow South and East Renfrewshire    
• North Lanarkshire       
• Renfrewshire and Inverclyde    
• South Lanarkshire       

In your divisional section you can find out details about your local community policing teams and the work we’ve been doing in your area.
