Preview shows the map slide in Editorial, Mono, Slate.
Every template has the same eight slides
- Cover — the map's name and theme, on a slide you can put your own title over.
- Editing guide — ungroup, recolour, regroup, in three steps and without plugins.
- The map — every area at one flat colour, the blank starting point for your own shading.
- Reference map — all 43 police force areas named, each carrying its GSS code, so nothing has to be looked up.
- Data map — five shaded classes and a legend, ready for your own figures instead of the sample ones.
- Spotlight — the largest few by area emphasised and the rest muted, for a single clear point.
- Working with the data — a data hand-off table.
- Source and licence — the boundary release, the publisher and the licence, printed on the slide so the deck carries its own provenance.

All 43 police force areas are in the file:
Avon and Somerset, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Cheshire, Cleveland, Cumbria, Derbyshire, Devon & Cornwall, Dorset, Durham, Dyfed-Powys, Essex, Gloucestershire, Greater Manchester, Gwent, Hampshire, Hertfordshire, Humberside, Kent, Lancashire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, London, City of, Merseyside, Metropolitan Police, Norfolk, North Wales, North Yorkshire, Northamptonshire, Northumbria, Nottinghamshire, South Wales, South Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Suffolk, Surrey, Sussex, Thames Valley, Warwickshire, West Mercia, West Midlands, West Yorkshire, Wiltshire.

Questions
England & Wales Police Force Areas — questions before you buy
How is this different from the map chart built into PowerPoint?
The map chart built into Microsoft 365 and Office 2019 or later looks places up through Bing Maps and stops at country level for the UK, so it cannot draw local authority districts, council areas or wards. These maps are ordinary PowerPoint shapes built from the ONS boundary files: nothing is looked up, every level below country is covered, and any area can be recoloured, relabelled or deleted on its own.
What does this police force area map show?
This is the police force area map of England and Wales. 43 police force areas — 39 in England and 4 in Wales. Every one is a separate shape that can be filled, labelled or deleted on its own, and the same boundaries are used on the map, the labelled reference slide and the data slide, so nothing shifts between them.
Do these cover the whole of the UK?
No — police force areas are England and Wales. Scotland has one national force and Northern Ireland its own service, so neither has a set of force areas to draw. This map covers all 43 forces in England and Wales, the geography crime figures are published against.
What kind of data can I show on this map?
Anything published at police force area level: recorded crime, force budgets and staffing, or police and crime plan targets. Classify your figures into five bands and recolour by class — the data slide is already a five-step legend you can keep or replace — and the data hand-off slide lists every GSS code against its area name, ready to paste your figures next to.
How do I link my own data to the map?
Each shape is named after its area and carries its ONS GSS code, the identifier statistics are published against. The map uses 2 code families — E23 for the 39 in England and W15 for the 4 in Wales. Join on the code rather than on names: authority names repeat across the UK, get respelt by different publishers, and change when councils reorganise, while the code stays with the area.
Which boundary release is this based on?
Office for National Statistics boundaries, December 2024 release, generalised and clipped to the coastline. They are published under the Open Government Licence, which permits commercial use and requires two credit lines wherever the material is reproduced — both are already printed on the source slide of every deck.
Is there a wider or a more detailed map of this area?
The United Kingdom Countries map is the wider view.
What does it cost, and are refunds available?
Each template costs $19.99 as a one-time payment, with no subscription and nothing that renews. A refund may be requested within 14 days for any reason, whether or not the file has been downloaded. The refund policy is a few paragraphs long.
Does it need an internet connection?
No. The boundaries are stored in the file as shapes, so nothing is looked up when you open or edit it.
Does it work in Google Slides?
Yes. Upload the .pptx to Drive and open it with Google Slides. The files contain only shapes, solid fills and Arial, and no animation, SmartArt, chart or embedded media, which are the elements an importer drops or converts.
