Sandford (Police Training Village)
- Sandford (Police Training Village)
Sandford was a police training village in Cheshire, England. Part of the Bruche Police National Training Centre, it focused on creating a replica village where police recruits could engage in simulations of routine police activities such as dealing with traffic accidents, football hooligans, and investigating robberies. Criminals, victims and bystanders were portrayed by civilian locals of the Bruche area. [BBC (January 13, 2003).

Sandford was the main setting for the 2007 action film Hot Fuzz, chosen because of its link to Police training in England. The actual filming location was Wells, where Edgar Wright grew up.
In the opening of 28 Weeks Later, a young boy also says he came from this location.
