Cumbria Constabulary is the territorial police force in England covering Cumbria. It covers the fifth-largest area in England and Wales (2,268 square miles or 5,870 square kilometres) but is among the forces with the fewest officers. The force area's size and its population of just under 500,000 people makes it sparsely populated. The only major urban areas are Carlisle and Barrow-in-Furness.
There are significant areas of isolated and rural community, and the county has one of the smallest visible minority ethnic populations in the country at under 3.0%. Each year Cumbria, which incorporates the Lake District National Park, attracts over 23 million visitors from all over the world (46 times the local population). The county has 67 miles (108 km) of motorway and some 700 miles (1,100 km) of trunk and primary roads.
The force has over 1,100 police officers, 94 special constables and 800 police staff. The Chief Constable is Jerry Graham. The headquarters of the force are at Carleton Hall, Penrith.
