Personnel Strength and Deployment
The force, locally referred to as the RGP currently numbers over 220 officers, who are divided into a number of units. These include CID, Drug Squad, Special Branch, Firearms Unit, Scene of Crime Examiners, Traffic Department, Marine Section, and Operations Division.
From its inception, up until 1999 when St. John Ambulance Brigade took over, the Gibraltar Police provided the territory's only emergency ambulance service, using officers seconded from the Operations Division. Also until the early 1990s the RGP acted as immigration officers at all entry points.
The current headquarters is at New Mole House Police Station, Rosia Road. There is also a substation at 120 Irish Town, which was the previous HQ.
