Warwickshire Police

West Midlands region. Headquarters: Leamington Spa.

  • Rural crime
  • Heritage crime
  • Alliance policing with West Mercia

Warwickshire Police is one of England's smaller forces, serving approximately 600,000 people across a predominantly rural county with several market towns and the tourist destination of Stratford-upon-Avon. The force has a strategic alliance with West Mercia Police, sharing specialist resources and back-office functions to improve resilience. Warwickshire faces particular challenges from its proximity to the West Midlands conurbation, from which acquisitive crime frequently spills over.

Area Covered

Warwickshire Police covers the county of Warwickshire, including towns such as Leamington Spa, Nuneaton, Rugby, Warwick, and Stratford-upon-Avon. The force area borders the West Midlands conurbation and several other midland counties.
