Policing in the English county of Wiltshire (including the borough of Swindon) is the responsibility of several civilian and military authorities.
As a landlocked county, there are no seaports which would have Border Force officers. However, the National Crime Agency (NCA) operates throughout the UK.
As is customary in England and Wales, responsibility for policing in the county rests with the local Home Office territorial police force, Wiltshire Police, formerly Wiltshire Constabulary.
As there is a large military (mostly British Army) presence and MOD presence, the Royal Military Police and Ministry of Defence Police often work with the territorial force.[1][2]
The railway stations are also policed by the national British Transport Police.[3]
Some areas also have private security, or public officials, with various powers, such as Salisbury City Council which has a contract with a security company, Venture Security, to provide City Centre Security Officers (CCSO).[4] These officers have been designated Community safety accreditation scheme (CSAS) powers by the Chief Constable of Wiltshire.[5]
