Specialist units

Policing Cheshire requires a variety of skills that either go beyond the traditional work undertaken by police officers or are so specialist that officers or staff with particular training are required to work effectively. Cheshire Constabulary has officers who are trained to work in a variety of specialist units.

This means that Cheshire residents can be assured that there are experts working in all departments, and that neighbourhood police officers are not taken off their local beats to deal with specialist policing matters.

Specalist units include:

Air Operations

ANPR

Call Management

Custody

Dogs section

Firearms Licensing

Force Solicitor's Office

Forensics
