POLICE DETAILS
West Mercia Police - Hereford Rural North Southside Neighbourhood

West Mercia Police Information

West Mercia is the fourth largest geographic police area in England and Wales. The force area is divided into five territorial policing areas, which match the boundaries of our local authorities.

While West Mercia is predominantly rural, it also contains some densely populated urban areas and many market towns. To ensure we strike the right balance between addressing national and local policing priorities, the force focuses its activities on three priority areas:

  • Serving
  • Protecting the public
  • Making the difference

Hereford Rural North Southside Neighbourhood

Welcome to the site for Hereford Rural North Team. We are a small team and currently work from Bath Street Station in Hereford. We feel privileged to work in an area of outstanding natural beauty like Herefordshire and strive to make it an even safer place to live, work in and visit. We are committed to serving our communities and targeting those that present most risk to our community, protecting those at risk and patrolling those areas deemed most at risk of harm. We are out on patrol as often as possible whether it is on foot, or by car, to ensure we reach all corners of our area. Please approach us if you see us out and about and we will be more than happy to stop and chat. You can also reach us by phone or e-mail to discuss and concerns or issues.
