Northumbria Police

Northumbria Police is the largest territorial police force outside London by geographic area, covering approximately 2,100 square miles. The force serves a population of about 1.5 million across both densely populated urban centres and the vast, sparsely inhabited uplands of Northumberland. Northumbria maintains specialist capabilities in serious and organised crime, and works closely with Border Force given its proximity to Scotland.

Area Covered

Northumbria Police covers the metropolitan counties of Tyne and Wear and Northumberland, including the cities of Newcastle upon Tyne and Sunderland, and the large rural county of Northumberland stretching to the Scottish border.
