Central Scotland Police is the police force covering the Scottish council areas of Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire (the former Central region). The headquarters of the force are at Randolphfield House in Stirling.
The current Chief Constable Andrew Cameron was appointed in 2000.
The force was heavily involved with policing the 31st G8 summit in 2005. Although the summit's venue, Gleneagles Hotel, falls within the responsibility of neighbouring Tayside Police, the temporary eco-village encampment near Stirling and the southern approaches to the Gleneagles area are within the Central Scotland Police area.
The force was created on May 16, 1975, with the Central Scotland region, as a successor to the Stirling and Clackmannan Police, also taking the south-western portion of the Perth and Kinross Constabulary area.
Three Area Commands; Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire relate to the three Councils within the force area.
