Cumbria is a diverse county with both rural and urban areas, it is one of the safest places to live, work and visit with relatively low levels of crime compared to other areas in England and Wales. It is important to recognise that neighbourhood crime levels are compared to the Cumbrian average, not a national one.Generally, where the population is at its highest in urban communities the crime levels will be higher compared to the rest of Cumbria, however this is relatively low in comparison nationally. This Crime Mapping site will continue to be developed and improved. Cumbria Constabulary has gradually evolved over more than a century, from the formation of Cumberland and Westmorland counties in 1856 to its amalgamation with the Kendal Borough Police (1947), the Carlisle City Police (1967) and more recently the Furness area of Lancashire and Sedbergh area of West Yorkshire in 1974. Cumbria Constabulary was officially formed in April 1974 with 1044 officers. Cumbria is the second largest county in England by area and with a population of just under half a million, remains one of the most sparsely populated. The county's largest settlements, Carlisle and Barrow-in-Furness, account for only 15% and 12% of the total population respectively, while only 19 others have a population of more than 2500. There are significant areas of isolated and rural community, and the county has one of the lowest visible minority ethnic populations in the country. Each year Cumbria, which incorporates the Lake District National Park, attracts over 23 million visitors from all over the world, 7 million of who stay more than one day. . The county has 67 miles of motorway and some 700 miles of trunk and primary roads. The style and approach to policing adopted by the Constabulary is reflective of the local environment and the county is divided into three operational areas; North, South and West. Each policing area is co-terminus with two district council boundaries and has its own headquarters; Kendal in South Cumbria, Carlisle in North Cumbria and Workington in West Cumbria. Cumbria Constabulary's headquarters, Carleton Hall, is located near Penrith. The areas are responsible for delivery of most of the operational policing services and some of the special functions are provided on a countywide basis from HQ. There are now 10 headquarters departments: Uniform Operational Support, Serious Crime, Finance and Resources, Personnel and Development, Professional Standards, Legal Services, Information Technology and Management, Strategic Development, Partnerships, Programme Management

Mar 25th 2013:  An insightful piece by London Mayor Boris Johnson today and he summed up very well the issue of how useful Police buildings and stations are in fighting crime; Police buildings do not make arrests. They do not lumber down the street in pursuit of criminals. They do not observe crime, and according to most criminologists there is no real evidence that they even deter crime – not just by sitting there as an inanimate structure of bricks and mortar.
