Cambridgeshire Constabulary is the territorial police force responsible for law enforcement within the ceremonial county of Cambridgeshire in the United Kingdom. In addition to the non-metropolitan county, the Police area includes the city of Peterborough, which became a unitary authority area in 1998. The Chief Constable is Alec Wood, who replaced Simon Parr in July 2015, as acting Chief Constable but was subsequently permanently appointed to the role the following month. The Deputy Chief Constable (Support) is Mark Hopkins and the Assistant Chief Constable (Operations) is Andy Hebb.
The force is divided into six area commands, each based on the areas of local district councils: Cambridge, East Cambridgeshire, Fenland, Huntingdonshire, Peterborough and South Cambridgeshire. Previously, there were three divisions: Northern, Central and Southern, however these were abolished in 2012.
The force's headquarters is situated at Hinchingbrooke Park on the outskirts of Huntingdon. There is a centralised call centre for the county at Copse Court (opposite Thorpe Wood) in Peterborough.
The force's non-emergency number is 101 which was introduced on 1 February 2012, previously it was 0345 456 4564 (since 2011) and 0845 456 4564 (prior to 2011).
