A NEW headquarters has been set up to police the Warminster Garrison after a nationwide reorganisation by the Ministry of Defence.

The new station set up by the MoD Police Area Policing Team opened on Salisbury Plain yesterday.

The station consists of a sergeant and 10 constables and will be responsible for Tidworth Garrison, Larkhill Camp, Bulford Camp and Warminster.

Sgt Mark Venning said: "We look forward to continuing to serve the defence community and are confident that the reorganisation will ultimately focus our resources where they are most needed."
