Location:

While Bedfordshire Police's primary jurisdiction is the county of Bedfordshire, it collaborates extensively with national UK law enforcement agencies such as the National Crime Agency (NCA) and other police forces on cross-border crime and serious organised crime. It also participates in national policing strategies and may engage with international bodies like Interpol or Europol through national channels for investigations with an international dimension. The force does not maintain physical offices globally but supports global safety through these cooperative efforts.
