Dumfriesshire
Dumfriesshire is one of two command areas in Dumfries and Galloway.
Priorities
The priorities for your area are decided by data from our strategic assessment which details threats and risks, and also from feedback from local authorities, partners, and residents in the Your Police survey.
- Violent crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour
- Crimes of theft and dishonesty
- Substance misuse
- Road safety and road crime
- Protecting vulnerable people.
You can read more information about how these priorities are decided and how officers work with the local council and partners to improve your community and address these issues in the Dumfries and Galloway Local Policing Plan.
Area Commander and localities
Chief Inspector Duncan Cameron is the local area commander in charge of the response officers, community officers, and officers from the criminal investigation department working in the individual localities. They all respond to calls in the area and deal with local issues. The Area Command is made up of local wards which are:
- North West Dumfries
- Mid and Upper Nithsdale
- Abbey
- Nith
You can email the Community Policing Team for the above wards here.
- Annandale South
- Annandale North
- Annandale and Eskdale
You can email the Community Policing Team for the above wards here.
You can also follow your local teams on social media on the Nithsdale Twitter account and the Annandale Twitter account where we post about how we are policing your community.
Please note the social media channels are not monitored 24/7, and are not for reporting crime.
