At the same time, we also police Northumberland, the least populated English county.

Our force area offers city and countryside on your doorstep – making it a fantastic base to live and work. Cost of living and house prices are significantly more affordable in the North East than in other areas, meaning a great quality of life. Beyond the draw of the roaring nightlife of Newcastle, it’s an ideal location for families with some of the country’s best coastline on offer in Northumberland and exceptional schools throughout the region.
