The Lothians and Scottish Borders
The Lothians and Scottish Borders division is made up of the four area commands above.
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.
- Protecting the most vulnerable people
- Reducing violence & anti-social behaviour
- Reducing crimes of theft and dishonesty
- Improving road safety
- Tackling serious & organised crime.
You can read more information about how these priorities are decided and how officers work with local councils and partners to improve your community and address these issues in the The Lothians and Scottish Borders Local Policing Plan (Easy Read PDF version) and Equality and Human Rights Impact Assessments Summary.
You can also keep up to date with what’s happening in your local area through the divisional Facebook and Twitter channels.

Local Initiatives
Autistic Missing Person Protocol
Officers from Lothians and Scottish Borders division have launched a new pilot safeguarding scheme, designed to locate autistic adults and children when they are reported as missing.
The Autistic Missing Person Protocol is an information gathering tool, developed in partnership with education, health and social care partners, which will help police officers to find an autistic person who is missing, as quickly as possible.
The Autistic Missing Person Protocol encourages carers and families to record vital information on a form that can be handed over to the police in the event of someone going missing. Download the form to find out more.
