Devon and Cornwall Police

We are the largest territorial Police Force in England - covering approximately 4,000 square miles, 550 miles of peninsula coastline and a road network of 13,000 miles. Policing an area this size presents many challenges, with the needs of rural, coastal and urban communities at the forefront of the Police's approach to tackling crime. The geographical area covered is the largest for any police force in England, and the fifth largest in the United Kingdom. The total resident population of the force area is approximately 1.5 million, with around 11 million visitors annually.
