Dumfries and Galloway Constabulary is the police force for the council area of Dumfries and Galloway in Scotland.

The police force was formed in 1948 as an amalgamation of the previous police forces for Dumfriesshire, the Stewarty of Kirkcudbright and Wigtownshire, and preceded the creation of the former Dumfries and Galloway Regional Council by 27 years. [1]

The current Chief Constable is Patrick Shearer. Shearer was appointed on 24 April 2007, in succession to his predecessor David Strang who was made Chief Constable of Lothian and Borders Police. The current Deputy Chief Constable is George Graham, who took over from Robert Ovens QPM in December 2005.

In 1988 it undertook the investigation into the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie.
