Police Stations
The constabulary has 36 full-time stations across the county with over 100 further police posts and smaller village stations.

The training of student officers is undertaken at five sites, HQ (Hutton), Rawtenstall, Fleetwood, Skelmersdale and Morecambe. In addition, specialist training and certain sections such as the dog and mounted are based at the Force's HQ at Hutton.
