Salen Police Station

Salen Police Station, a key local presence of Police Scotland, is situated in the central village of Salen on the Isle of Mull. As one of the island’s four police stations, it plays an important role in maintaining law and order, providing a visible police presence, and responding to incidents across the central part of Mull. While it may not always be continuously staffed, it serves as a vital base for officers covering the area.

For emergencies requiring immediate police attendance, such as a crime in progress or if someone is in danger, the public should always dial 999. For non-urgent matters, general enquiries, or to report a crime that is not an emergency, the national Police Scotland non-emergency number, 101, should be used. This ensures that calls are directed to the appropriate officers, even if the local station counter is not open at the time.

Salen Police Station contributes significantly to the safety and security of the community on Mull, working to prevent crime and provide reassurance to residents and visitors alike. As part of Police Scotland, it is integrated into the wider national policing structure, ensuring access to broader resources and support when needed. The local presence of the police in Salen is an important element of the island’s public services.
