Devon and Cornwall Police

Formed in 1967 from an amalgamation of local forces, Devon and Cornwall Police covers the largest area of any English police force at nearly 4,000 square miles of rural, coastal and urban communities.

Its peninsula includes extensive national heritage sites, farmland, over 1,200 miles of coastline, a 13,600-mile road network, holiday resorts, market towns and the idyllic Isles of Scilly.

Devon and Cornwall’s two ‘County Shows’, air shows, regattas and other festivals form some of the most notable policing events, in addition to the peninsula being a popular tourist destination.

Their population of 1.8 million swells with around 11 million visitors per year. Tourists and other visitors bring great economic benefits plus significant summer policing demand, contributing to the 1 million annual calls for service they receive.
