Sussex Police Revenue and Competitors

Sussex Police serves the rural and urban counties of East and West Sussex and the cosmopolitan city of Brighton & Hove. Millions of visitors, holidaymakers, students and seasonal workers from the UK and overseas swell the resident population of 1.63 million people, with an additional 39 million passengers travelling through Gatwick Airport each year. The force has almost 2,700 police officers and 2,100 police staff, including Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) and a team of dedicated volunteers that includes over 400 Special Constables and around 180 Police Cadets. The roles of uniformed officers who respond to calls and PCSOs that work out in the community are probably familiar to most people. But policing involves a wide range of different functions, many of which aren't visible to the public but are nonetheless an essential part of how we police. Our Priorities 2016/17 - Protecting vulnerable people. - Preventing crime and catching criminals. - Being there when people need us most. - Living and working by the Code of Ethics. We have specific teams for public order, roads policing, serious and organised crime and counter terrorism. Within these areas there are a range of specialist, operational and support roles, carried out by a mixture of officers and police staff.
