Our Structure

Essex Police has five territorial divisions, covering a total of 14 districts:

• Central – covering Braintree, Chelmsford, Maldon and Uttlesford
  
  
• Eastern – covering Colchester and Tendring
  
  
• South Eastern – covering Castle Point, Rochford and Southend
  
  
• South Western – covering Basildon and Thurrock
  
  
• Western – covering Brentwood, Epping Forest and Harlow.

Each district is split into neighbourhoods. A neighbourhood is a small area with a dedicated policing team typically made up of an inspector, sergeant, police constable and police community support officer. As well as the five territorial policing divisions there are four other operational policing teams at Essex Police. These are:

• Operational Policing Command
  
  
• Serious Crime Directorate
  
  
• Counter Terrorism Division
  
  
• Communications Division
  
  Essex Police is part of The Cross Channel Intelligence Community, a regional alliance between police forces and law enforement agencies that deal with cross-border crime between the UK and immediate mainland Europe.
