Organisation
On 1 April 2010, Hertfordshire Constabulary launched its Local Policing Command (LPC), providing a more efficient and effective way to oversee the delivery of local policing services across the county. Victims of crime and members of the public who make contact with the police should not notice the changes which have been made to protect community policing and crime investigation at every level.
The LPC replaced the previous three area commands, reducing duplication and complexity in how front line officers and staff are managed and supported.
The LPC comprises various units including:
- Intervention and response (responding to 999 calls and on general patrol)
- Neighbourhood (covering local and quality of life issues)
- Plain clothes and detective units (local crime, case investigation, tactical team)
- Intelligence and tasking units
- The LPC is supported by numerous centrally based units such as firearms, dog section, roads policing, air support, control room, forensic services and major crime

“It is because the body is a machine that education is possible. Education is the formation of habits, a superinducing of an artificial organisation upon the natural organisation of the body.”
