Welcome to the new North Yorkshire Police Authority's web site.
North Yorkshire Police Authority is an independent body, created on 1 April 1995. The area served by the Authority and the North Yorkshire Police Force comprises the North Yorkshire County Council and the City of York areas. This is one of the largest geographical policing areas in the country.
The Authority's Primary Responsibilities are:
- To secure an efficient and effective police service on behalf of the local community
- To consult with the local community about its policing needs and priorities
- To hold the Chief Constable to account for police performance, on behalf of local people
- To ensure that there is continuous improvement in the delivery of the police service in our area
The Authority works with the Chief Constable to prepare a 3 year strategy for the development of the service and an annual Policing Plan which sets out the way in which the Chief Constable will police the area having regard to the Home Secretary's national policing priorities and the local priorities determined by the Police Authority. This document is called NY Policing Plan.
The Authority also has its own Business Plan outlining the Authority's vision, mission, objectives and priorities for improvement.
