Winchester District

Winchester district is led by Chief Inspector James Fulton

Local policing areas:

Winchester District mirrors that of the Winchester City Council boundaries.

The district covers 250 square miles, with a population of 109,000 people. Policing the district presents many challenges due to its diverse geographic spread, from the busy old capital city, to the sparsely populated rural locations.

The district is divided into two sections for operational policing purposes: Winchester West covering Winchester city, and Winchester East covering Alresford, Bishops Waltham, Twyford, Denmead, Wickham and Whiteley. These sections are led by an Inspector.

Response teams based in Winchester and Bishop’s Waltham provide 24 hour a day, seven days a week policing cover for the district. These officers not only respond to 999 calls but also provide a uniformed presence on the streets. There are six Safer Neighbourhood Teams consisting of sergeants, police constables, police community support officers (PCSOs) and Special Constables. It is important that these teams know and are known to their local communities as they are committed to delivering a policing service that reflects the different needs and concerns of our local communities. They seek to involve the public in identifying their main neighbourhood and policing concerns, in being part of joint problem-solving responses, and in holding the neighbourhood policing teams to account.

Chief Inspector James Fulton has been in command of Winchester district since April 2011.

Details of your Safer Neighbourhood Policing teams can be found on the Constabulary website, along with details of your local monthly surgeries and future CAT meetings.

Please let us know your local concerns as we really do listen.
