Humberside Police - protecting communities, targeting criminals

About Us

In this section you can find more information about Humberside Police and its structure.

Force Structure

Humberside as a force covers the districts of North-East Lincolnshire, North Lincolnshire, and the East Riding of Yorkshire, along with the urban area of Kingston-upon-Hull.

There are four Basic Command Units (BCUs) or Divisions, which are almost coterminous with the district councils of North East Lincolnshire, North Lincolnshire, Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire. The Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships (CDRPs) created following the introduction of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 also mirror these boundaries.

#<Image:0x2afb2be4cf40>The Divisions consist of dedicated teams of community officers based at Neighbourhood Policing Team buildings situated throughout each area and clustered response teams and investigation teams.

You can contact any of our Chief Officers via our Police Headqurters, details of which can be found on our Contact us section of the website.

Humberside Police employs 2,062 police officers, 1,850 police staff, 323 Police Community Support Officers and 339 special constables (as of 30 June 2010). The staff are accommodated across the Force area to ensure that a safer tomorrow is delivered today.
