Policing any city involves a diverse range of issues including nuisance, disorder, vandalism, drugs misuse, thefts and traffic problems, and Dundee is no exception. Local operational matters in Dundee are devolved to the Inspectors of the 5 Sections to deliver a 24-hour service at a local level.

Tayside Police work in partnership with the local authority, statutory, non-statutory and public bodies to find long term and sustainable solutions to any problems our communities may face. The Sections, along with specialist departments operating across the Division, aim to provide a high quality service making Dundee a safe place in which to live, work and visit.

The Command Team is based in Force Headquarters, West Bell Street, Dundee.
