Glasgow Central and West Division works together with the Council and its partner agencies in building safer communities for the city’s multicultural population.
Policing the city that never sleeps is a round-the-clock exercise and one which we take great pride in. Indeed, given that the city attracts some 400,000 workers, shoppers and tourists on a daily basis, it is our priority to ensure that they can do so safely. Testament to this is our high visibility presence, passion for public reassurance and commitment to reducing violence.
Glasgow’s ability to attract weekend visitors to its excellent nightlife is reflected in its 100,000 visitors who pack out the city’s pubs and clubs, week in, week out. With its popularity however, comes a demand for a flexible policing structure, which we have ultimately created. Our much admired City Centre Policing Plan is a fine example of proactive policing based on excellent partnership working. It has attracted top legal peer, Justice Minister, Kenny McAskill and is a fine legacy of our Division.
The Division’s Commander, Chief Superintendent David Christie, is proud to be at the helm of the city’s policing structure and works hard at driving the Division forward.
Based at Stewart Street in the heart of the city, our divisional headquarters are in prime location for response policing. Our telephone number is 532 3000 but in an emergency you should always dial 999.
Communicating with our communities is a key strand of modern policing and our website is just one way in which we welcome the opportunity to speak with you.
