Central Scotland Police was the territorial police force responsible for the Scottish council areas of Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire (the former Central region). The headquarters of the force were at Randolphfield House in Stirling.
Chief Constable Derek Penman was appointed in 2011.
The force was heavily involved with policing the 31st G8 summit in 2005. Although the summit's venue, Gleneagles Hotel, fell within the responsibility of neighbouring Tayside Police, the temporary ecovillage encampment near Stirling and the southern approaches to the Gleneagles area were within the Central Scotland Police area.
The force was created on 16 May 1975, with the Central Scotland region, as a successor to the Stirling and Clackmannan Police, also taking the south-western portion of the Perth and Kinross Constabulary area.
An Act of the Scottish Parliament, the Police and Fire Reform (Scotland) Act 2012, created a single Police Service of Scotland - known as Police Scotland - which came into effect from 1 April 2013. This merged the eight regional police forces in Scotland, together with the Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency, into a single service covering the whole of Scotland.[1] Police Scotland will have its headquarters at the Scottish Police College at Tulliallan in Fife.
