North East
Divisional Commander
Chief Superintendent George Macdonald is the Local Police Commander for North East Division and has responsibility for policing across the division.
To support the delivery of local policing, the area is divided geographically into five Command Areas:
Each area has a dedicated Local Area Commander, a Chief Inspector who is responsible for the day-to-day policing in that area.
All Local Area Commanders report into the Divisional Senior Management Team which is led by the Local Police Commander. An Assistant Chief Constable is appointed to oversee all local policing across the North of Scotland
Each division is made up of local wards. North East Division consists of 40 wards.
Each area is served by a number of policing teams, including Response Officers, Community Officers and officers from the Criminal Investigation Department. Along with others, these teams deliver services across North East Division, drawing on national resources as required.
Officers from the Community Policing Team are dedicated to working collaboratively with local communities and partners to find long term solutions to key issues.
