Custody photograph requests
If you'd like us to supply a photograph of a person convicted at court, please complete our online form.
Documentary requests
We receive many requests for filming and providing facilities relating to both operational and non-operational matters. At this time we are not considering any new documentary or TV series requests. If you have a request not related to these areas, please complete our documentary request form.
This service is only available to accredited journalists or media organisations that we recognise and provide a service to. If you have any questions, or your filming request is urgent, please contact us in the first instance.
Campaigns
We also design and deliver campaigns to help prevent and solve crimes. This work involves a range of methods to give reliable information and advice that can raise awareness and confidence in policing. We encourage you to look and listen to our campaigns on this site, reinforcing our combined community efforts to protect vulnerable people and bring criminals to justice.
