Grampian Police

Grampian Police employs around 2,300 staff in its Aberdeen Headquarters and the forty-four other Police Offices to provide a modern, professional policing service to the communities of North-east Scotland.

The Forces serves over 530,000 people in a very diverse area of 3373 square miles, stretching from the Cairngorm Mountains in the west to the Moray and Aberdeenshire coasts to the north and east.

The region comprises the city of Aberdeen, several towns, many villages and a large rural area with a corresponding variety of industries, most notably oil and gas, agriculture, fishing and tourism.

In addition to normal duties, the Force has additional responsibilities for policing offshore installations in Scottish waters and for Royalty Protection in connection with the local residences occupied by various members of the Royal Family for frequent periods during the year.

Keeping Our Communities Safe

Aberdeen City and Shire are two of the United Kingdom’s safest areas where crime has been consistently cut over recent years.

Intelligence Led Policing

Much of this success is attributed to the development of intelligence led policing (ILP) in which the Force has played a leading role in Scotland. ILP allows the effective concentration of resources from the analysis of information.

Quality of Life

The Force is at the forefront of change in the Police Service to keep local communities safe and thus enable residents and visitors to enjoy an even higher quality of life in an area that is already widely recognised as being among the most attractive in the United Kingdom.
