The ACPO UK Police Directory lists all key UK police contacts in every force and, after just four editions, UK Police Directory has established itself as the No 1 source for contact data within the police service and those many hundreds of other organisations which work closely with the police at all levels.

This 2008 edition is all new – thoroughly researched and verified with the enormous assistance of the police service itself. There are new elements, too. All of them proposed by the vast user-base which the directory has built up in so short a time. The flow of hugely positive response from within the police service and criminal justice system continues to inspire the publishing team to make the 2008 edition even better.

The UK Police Directory 2008 – ACPO’s official directory – is an essential work tool that provides the most comprehensive directory of UK policing contacts and resources in a convenient, easy-to-use format

From ACPO President Ken Jones: "Now into its fifth year, ACPO's UK Police Directory remains a ‘must-have’ publication for the police community and other interested organisations. This comprehensive directory of police forces and related organisations continues to grow in accuracy and popularity and has firmly established itself as the leading contact publication for the service. The Directory is once again more comprehensive and better, with additional contacts and an easy to use format. Those listed are all in some way enjoined in the drive to make communities safer places to live, to improve the efficiency and performance of police forces, developing information systems and sharing excellent working practice. I commend it to you."
