Merseyside Police is the territorial police service for the Merseyside region, based in Liverpool, England. Formed in 1974, it serves about 1.5 million residents across an area of 647 square kilometres and employs a large workforce in a range of roles including police officers, community support officers, staff, special officers and volunteers. The force is organized into five Basic Command Units—Wirral, Sefton, Knowsley, St Helens and Liverpool—each comprising neighbourhood policing, response and criminal investigations teams. Its stated approach centers on putting communities first as it delivers policing services to address local concerns. Recently, the force announced a formal partnership with Retail Trust—the UK's first such collaboration—to address abuse against shopworkers and provide de-escalation training and wellbeing support for retail staff in Liverpool city centre.
