County Division
County Division, also known as J Division, is under the overall command of Chief Superintendent Andy Street. County Division covers a diverse mix of urban and rural areas and consists of Bedford, Riseley and surrounding villages in the North of the County and Dunstable, Houghton Regis, Ampthill, Shefford, Leighton Buzzard and surrounding villages to the South of the County. County Division has two Superintendents - one covering Bedford Borough and the other Central Bedfordshire.
There are two Chief Inspectors who have individual responsibility for Bedford Borough and Central Bedfordshire.
The division is then further divided into 6 Inspector-Led Neighbourhood Areas (ILNAs).
- North Bedford Rural
- Bedford Central
- Bedford South
- Ampthill and Biggleswade
- Leighton Buzzard Urban & Rural
- Dunstable and Houghton Regis
These six ILNA's are made up of Safer Neighbourhood Teams (SNT's). The SNT's are responsible for addressing problem solving, along with other partners and the 'Quality of Life' issues affecting our communities.
These teams consist of Police Officers, Special Constables and Police Community Support Officers (PCSO's). These teams are based within the Communities and will become known to residents.
The six ILNA's are further supported by a central Crime and Operations Department.
You can find out more information about SNT's, including your local officers, on the Safer Neighbourhood pages of the website.
