Полиция Шотландии – полицейская сила региона. Её предшественник, констебль Дамфрис и Галлоуэй (расформирован в 2014 году) был самой маленькой полицейской силой в Соединенном Королевстве. Шотландская служба пожарной охраны и спасения (ранее Служба пожарной охраны и спасения Дамфриса и Галлоуэя) предоставляет услуги по пожаротушению по всему региону. Береговая охрана, спасательные шлюпки, горная спасательная служба Моффата и горная спасательная служба Галлоуэя также предлагают аварийные службы по всей Дамфрис и Галлоуэю. Спасательные службы Nith Inshore Rescue базируются в Гленкапле. Эта независимая спасательная шлюпка обеспечивает защиту реки Нит, окружающих рек и внутренних вод. Nith Inshore Rescue является утвержденным объектом для HM Coastguard, центра управления и надзорного органа, ответственного за вызовы. NHS Dumfries and Galloway предоставляет медицинские услуги по всему региону. Две основные больницы – Королевская больница Дамфриса и Галлоуэя в Дамфрисе и Общественная больница Галлоуэя в Странраере.

Административная история
До 1975 года территория, которая сейчас является Дэмфрисом и Галлоуэем, управлялась как три отдельных графства: Дэмфрисшир, Кирккудбрайтшир и Вигтауншир. Графства Шотландии возникли как шерифовства, которые были учреждены начиная с XII века и состояли из группы приходов, над которыми имел юрисдикцию шериф. В 1890 году для каждого графства был создан избираемый графский совет в соответствии с Законом о местном самоуправлении (Шотландия) 1889 года. Три графских совета были упразднены в 1975 году в соответствии с Законом о местном самоуправлении (Шотландия) 1973 года, который установил двухступенчатую структуру местного самоуправления по всей Шотландии, включающую регионы верхнего уровня и районы нижнего уровня. Был создан регион под названием Дэмфрис и Галлоуэй, охватывающий территорию трех графств, которые были упразднены как административные единицы. Регион включал четыре района: Аннандейл и Эскдейл, охватывающий восточную часть Дэмфрисшира; Нитсдейл, охватывающий западную часть Дэмфрисшира и небольшую часть Кирккудбрайтшира; Стюартри, охватывающий большую часть Кирккудбрайтшира; Вигтаун, охватывающий весь Вигтауншир и небольшую часть Кирккудбрайтшира. Дальнейшая реформа местного самоуправления в 1996 году в соответствии с Законом о местном самоуправлении и др. (Шотландия) 1994 года привела к упразднению четырех районов области, при этом Совет Дэмфриса и Галлоуэя взял на себя функции, которые они выполняли ранее. Совет продолжает использовать территории четырех упраздненных районов в качестве комитетских округов. Четыре бывших района также используются для определения трех территорий лейтенантства, при этом Нитсдейл и Аннандейл и Эскдейл вместе образуют лейтенантство Дэмфрис, район Стюартри соответствует лейтенантству Стюартри Кирккудбрайта, а район Вигтаун соответствует лейтенантству Вигтауна. Штаб-квартира совета находится в офисе совета по адресу 113 English Street в Дэмфрисе, который был построен в 1914 году как штаб-квартира старого графского совета Дэмфрисшира, ранее известного как "Здание графства".
Prior to 1975, the area that is now Dumfries and Galloway was administered as three separate counties: Dumfriesshire, Kirkcudbrightshire, and Wigtownshire. The counties of Scotland originated as sheriffdoms, which were established from the twelfth century, consisting of a group of parishes over which a sheriff had jurisdiction. An elected county council was established for each county in 1890 under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889. The three county councils were abolished in 1975 under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973, which established a two tier structure of local government across Scotland comprising upper tier regions and lower tier districts. A region called Dumfries and Galloway was created covering the area of the three counties, which were abolished as administrative areas. The region contained four districts:
Annandale and Eskdale, covering the eastern part of Dumfriesshire. Nithsdale, covering the western part of Dumfriesshire and a small part of Kirkcudbrightshire. Stewartry, covering most of Kirkcudbrightshire. Wigtown, covering all of Wigtownshire and a small part of Kirkcudbrightshire. Further local government reform in 1996 under the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994 saw the area's four districts abolished, with the Dumfries and Galloway Council taking over the functions they had previously performed. The council continues to use the areas of the four abolished districts as committee areas. The four former districts are also used to define the area's three lieutenancy areas, with Nithsdale and Annandale and Eskdale together forming the Dumfries lieutenancy, the Stewartry district corresponding to the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright lieutenancy, and the Wigtown district corresponding to the Wigtown lieutenancy. The council headquarters is at the Council Offices at 113 English Street in Dumfries, which had been built in 1914 as the headquarters for the old Dumfriesshire County Council, previously being called "County Buildings".
