Policing the Communities of the Highlands and Islands

Central Division Command Team

The Division is led by Superintendent John McDonald with his team of local Area Commanders, Chief Inspector Gus Macpherson (Ross & Cromarty), Chief Inspector Gordon MacLeod (Western Isles) and Chief Inspector David Bushell (Lochaber, Lochalsh & Skye). The structure is made up of the following;

  • Superintendent - 1
  • Chief Inspectors - 3
  • Inspectors - 6
  • Sergeants -  33
  • Constables - 176
  • Special Constables - 72

The smooth running and efficiency of the Division and Commands Areas is in no small part down to the work of a large number of Police staff who carry out a variety of specialised roles, which include typists, clerical and administration posts.
