Introduction
The Herefordshire Territorial Policing Unit is split into three districts – North Herefordshire, City & Rural (covering Hereford and the surrounding area) and South Herefordshire – and serves a population of 179,300 permanent residents as well as significant numbers visiting the county. There are 20 local policing teams supported by teams of response and specialist police officers, police staff and Special Constables. The area command is in Bath Street, Hereford and is headed by Superintendent Charles Hill.
Across Herefordshire we are committed to promoting community safety, improving public confidence and satisfaction in policing services and protecting the public. We place great importance upon listening to the needs and concerns of our communities and seeking a clear understanding of what is important to them.
Over the next year and beyond, our aim is to work smarter, operate using streamlined processes and focus all of our efforts on serving and protecting the public of Herefordshire in the best and most effective way that we can.

Herefordshire Community Messaging System
Herefordshire Community Messaging is a computerised communication system which offers local residents, neighbourhood watch co-ordinators, businesses, farms, schools and partnerships information and alerts about crimes, incidents and events in their local area.
West Mercia Police is committed to involving the community in policing throughout the area. We believe that by improving the flow of information between the community and its police we can all make a greater impact in the prevention and detection of crime and anti-social behaviour.
The system is run in partnership with Herefordshire Neighbourhood Watch Association, using funding obtained from The National Lottery - Big Lottery Fund.
