Cumbria Constabulary is the territorial police force in England covering Cumbria. It covers the fifth-largest area in England and Wales () 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 of motorway and some of trunk and primary roads. The force has over 1,100 police officers, 120 special constables and 800 police staff. The Chief Constable is Jerry Graham. The headquarters of the force are at Carleton Hall, Penrith. The Home Secretary proposed on 6 February 2006 to merge it with Lancashire Constabulary. These proposals were accepted by both forces on 25 February and the merger would have taken place on 1 April 2007. However, in July 2006, the Cumbria and Lancashire forces decided not to proceed with the merger because the Government could not remedy issues with the differing council tax precepts. == Organisation == The force is divided into three Basic Command Units (BCUs) which provide the majority of policing services to the county. Each BCU is commanded by a Superintendent and is further divided into local policing teams (NPTs) each headed by an inspector. There are 19 NPTs throughout the force and these units provide the 24-hour patrol officers, dedicated local community beat officers and other local policing services. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cumbria Constabulary」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
