The village of Braemar and surrounding countryside falls within the Grampian Police, South Aberdeenshire Command Area.

The Braemar Police beat area extends between the Glenshee Ski Centre and the village of Crathie.

Jeff Hall is the resident Police Community Beat Officer based at Braemar and has held this post since summer 2009 Prior to that he spent a number of years in various offices in Aberdeen, before transferring to Aberdeenshire Division and being posted to Portlethen and latterly Ballater.

The post at Braemar is a uniquely challenging one within Grampian Police as it includes, in addition to the day to day duties of a Community Beat Officer, policing the Glenshee Ski Centre and assisting in the organisation of policing the Braemar Gathering.

Traditionally the Braemar Police Officer has been involved in the local Mountain Rescue Team and PC Hall continues this tradition, being an active member of both the Grampian Police and Braemar teams.
