Inverness Area Command
The City of Inverness is one of the fastest growing cities in Europe with a multi-cultural population of approximately 80,000. Inverness City is the urban centre of Northern Constabulary's Force area.
The capital of the Highlands and Islands attracts many thousands of visitors each year. The area is also proving popular for large scale outdoor events such as musical festivals RockNess and Belladrum and attracting substantial crowds during the football season to the Tulloch Caledonian Football Stadium.
Inverness is the main centre of the Highland and Islands area and has the heaviest demand for policing within the Northern Constabulary. The Area Command is responsible for not only the city, but many of the outlying areas such as Beauly, Culloden and Fort Augustus to name but a few, as well as the region's main airport at Dalcross.
