About Lancashire Constabulary
Preventing and fighting crime. Keeping our communities and people safe. The county is split into three main policing areas, known as divisions, with each area having a Divisional Commander.
These divisions are responsible for delivery of local policing across their neighbourhoods, addressing priorities based on risk, threat and harm.
Local policing teams are supported by the full range of specialist teams delivering all the policing functions. These are:
