Gloucestershire Constabulary is the second oldest County Police Force in the UK. The force covers about 1,000 square miles and is home to the Cotswolds, Royal Forest of Dean and Severn Vale and also includes the urban centres of Cheltenham and Gloucester.
The Force serves a population of around 600,000 people, in a county which incorporates two royal households, two airports, a university, part of the M5 motorway and a number of large employers, including GCHQ. It also hosts several major events and has been a national pilot site for the badger cull which create peaks in demand for its resources.
