Cleveland Police

Cleveland Police serves one of the most economically deprived areas in England, covering a post-industrial area that presents significant challenges including high levels of acquisitive crime and drug-related offending. The force area includes major petrochemical and steel industry sites on Teesside, requiring specialist industrial site policing. Cleveland has invested heavily in neighbourhood policing to address community cohesion and prevention.

Area Covered
