Welcome to the South BCU

The South Basic Command Unit (BCU) covers a large area from Market Bosworth and the town of Hinckley in the west, Blaby, Oadby and Wigston in the centre and Market Harborough Lutterworth in the east.

The BCU borders both Northamptonshire and Warwickshire Police's force areas. Several major roads run through the South BCU including the M1 and M69 motorways, the A47, A444, A426, A6 and A447.

Leicestershire Constabulary's headquarters is also situated within the South BCU, close to junction 21 of the M1 in Enderby.
