About Gloucestershire Constabulary
Gloucestershire Constabulary police Gloucestershire which is a rural county covering 1,041 square miles.

The greatest ethnic diversity is in Gloucester (10%) and eight of its neighbourhoods are amongst the most deprived nationally. A third of residents have limited access to transport.

The National Hunt Festival and Royal International Air Tattoo attract over 370,000 visitors annually. These events require mobilisation of significant policing resources.
