The force was formed following approval by the States of Deliberation in March 1915, consisting of an inspector, two sergeants, two corporals and eleven constables. As of 2008 it has 169 officers supported by 37 civilian staff.
The current Chief Constable of the Guernsey Police force is Patrick Rice. His deputy is Ian Morellec.
