Cannock Chase District Local Policing Team (LPT) is centred around Cannock town centre and the market town of Rugeley.
The Cannock area is historically a major centre for coal mining and today is rapidly developing as a residential, industrial and leisure area. The town of Rugeley, like Cannock, has strong historical connections with the mining industry. Today it’s a growth area for small industrial and retail units.
The area borders the West Midlands conurbation and is also home to one of the best known areas of outstanding natural beauty in the Midlands, Cannock Chase. Local police work very closely with colleagues from the local authority, Cannock Chase District Council (Opens in new window).
