This is the largest police force area in England by geographical area covered, and the fifth largest in the United Kingdom. The total population of the force area is approximately 1.5 million. The force also has to cope with an influx of around 11 million visitors to the force area during the average year. The force has an establishment of 3,500 police officers, 600 special constables, 71 community support officers and around 2,200 police staff. The force was formed on 1 April 1967 by the amalgamation of the Devon and Exeter Police, Cornwall County Constabulary and Plymouth City Police. As with most British police forces, the Constabulary is headed by a Chief Constable, assisted by a Deputy Chief Constable, Assistant Chief Constable (Operations), Assistant Chief Constable (Operations Support) and Assistant Chief Constable (Territorial Policing & Partnerships), as well as a civilian Director of Finance. Force Headquarters are at Middlemoor, near Exeter. The former Deputy Chief Constable, Nigel Arnold became the Acting Chief Constable on 26th July 2006. The Devon and Cornwall Police Authority is made up of nineteen members - 10 councillors, 3 justices of the peace, and 6 independent members. The councillors are nominated by a committee consisting of members from the Devon, Cornwall, Plymouth, Torbay and Isles of Scilly councils. Territorial organisationThe force is divided into four BCUs (Basic Command Units), each commanded by a Chief Superintendent. Each BCU is divided into large Geographic Areas, which are further sub-divided into Sectors, each with one or more police stations. This organisation is slightly different in Plymouth, which is divided directly into Sectors operating out of Plymouth's four police stations, and North and East Devon's Exeter Geographic Area, both of whose Sectors operate out of a single police station. Each Geographic Area is headed by a Chief Inspector and each Sector by an Inspector.
