In addition, the Division covers Paisley, Scotland’s largest town with 80,000 inhabitants, and towns such as Johnstone, Renfrew, Greenock, Port Glasgow and Gourock - all covered by CCTV surveillance systems for a marked reduction in crime. Paisley and Greenock town centres also benefit from a Radio Link System, linking night-clubs and retail outlets to the CCTV operators at local police offices. The Division covers Paisley University, as well as a bustling marina at Inverkip, plus Lochwinnoch Country Park. Geographical boundaries are shared with Renfrewshire and Inverclyde Councils.
