Estates
Introduction
Wiltshire’s policing estate has a core purpose to enable the delivery of an effective, efficient and improved policing service for our communities.
All sites should support officers, staff and volunteers to perform their roles in
a professional and effective way, reflect a modern and professional organisation and demonstrate our determination to reduce our impact on the
environment.
The responsibility for all police assets and ensuring they effectively contribute to the delivery of a quality policing service for our communities sits with the Police and Crime Commissioner.
The Chief Constable, as primary user of the assets, is required to provide clear operational requirements, which are prioritised across the multiple operational, and corporate, demands of the organisation.
Since 2015, we have rationalised and redeveloped our police estate to ensure it consistently provides what police officers and staff need to work effectively and keep you safe.
There will be CPT hubs at the following locations:
- Police HQ, Devizes (at present the hub is at Devizes Borough in New Park Street; this site will be sold once CPT officers and staff transfer to HQ). As for the London Road HQ, we do not consider it fit for purpose. We will explore whether the buildings can be reconfigured or whether a more radical redevelopment is needed
- Gablecross, Swindon
- Monkton Park, Chippenham
- Trowbridge
- Warminster (the police station is not fit for purpose. We will explore with partners the options for a suitable base in the town, either on the present site or at a new, shared location)
- Royal Wootton Bassett (this station is in need of a radical overhaul. We will explore the possibilities of the Force sharing a building in the town with partners)
- Bourne Hill, Salisbury
- Tidworth (serving both Tidworth and Amesbury)
There are two custody units, one in Swindon and one in Melksham.
We are working towards moving into shared accommodation with partners for our community touchdown points. These will be in the following locations:
- Amesbury
- Calne
- Malmesbury
- Pewsey
- Westbury
- Marlborough
- Alderbury
- Cricklade
- Highworth
