By working together our aim is to derive significant benefit for the patients and citizens of Grampian who we both ultimately serve.

Among our Force priorities are those of public protection including safeguarding children, young persons and vulnerable adults; road casualty reduction; serious organised crime and drugs to tackle those who cause the greatest harm in our communities and Violence, where we aim to develop our understanding of the causes and effects of violence and focus efforts on tackling the impact of alcohol on this type of crime.

In order to deliver on our priorities we have a variety of dedicated teams and departments including Substance Misuse co-ordinators, Education teams, Child and Adult Protection Officers and Domestic Abuse Liaison Officers. All staff are encouraged and empowered to be creative in solving problems, reducing harms and delivering excellent policing services.
