Police Stations: Greater London
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many constituencies in London do not have a police station located within them.
Answered by Dame Diana Johnson
The Home Office does not centrally collect data on the number or location of police stations.
It is up to Chief Constables and directly elected Police and Crime Commissioners (or equivalents) to make decisions on local resourcing and estates, including police stations. They are best placed to make these decisions based on their local knowledge and experience.
Police stations are just one of the ways people can access their local police services, including reporting online and by phone 24/7.
