Cheshire Constabulary was founded in 1857 and is now responsible
for policing nearly a million people.
The Force covers an area of great diversity, with large rural
expanses, areas of extensive heavy industry, the areas of Chester
and Warrington and also polices more than 200 miles of motorway
roads.
The international airports at Manchester and Liverpool lie on
our boundaries as do the counties of Shropshire, Staffordshire,
Derbyshire and north Wales.
There are nearly 2,200 regular Police Officers, nearly 250
Police Community Support Officers, nearly 250 Special Constables
and more than 1,500 civilian Police Staff.
