The Police and Fire Reform (Scotland) Act 2012 dissolved the eight former police and fire areas in to a single service for all of Scotland. Royal assent for the bill was received on August 7th, 2012 and came into effect on April 1st, 2013. Following from this, fourteen police divisions were created to enable policing at the local level. These divisions were created from aggregations of Local Authorities (Ordnance Survey BoundaryLine), and it is expected that Police Divisions will remain coterminous with Local Authorities as boundaries change. Following consultation in late 2015, the Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire and Moray divisions were merged into a new North East division effective from January 1st, 2016. There are currently 13 police divisions in Scotland.
