There are around 370 police officers in Calderdale.  They are supported by 52 police community support officers, 20 volunteer special constables and 87 full and part-time police support staff (civilians).
All of them have roles designed to meet the demands of the public across the whole of Calderdale. For example, the response teams provide 24/7 emergency response, while the four neighbourhood policing teams in Calderdale deal with quality of life issues that affect our local communities. The number of officers on the beat at any one time is reflected by demand.
We also have both a proactive and reactive CID, Integrated Officer Management team, Suspect Management Unit who deal with prisoners from emergency response teams, a Vulnerable Victims Unit and a Contact Management Unit which links in with the Neighbourhood Policing Teams to ensure members of the publics concerns are dealt with accordingly.
