North Yorkshire Police - Delivering modern policing in a traditional way

HOME

Please scroll down for the results from the Local Confidence Survey 2010.

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 North Yorkshire Policing Plan.

The Authority also has its own  NYPA Business Plan 2009-12 [123kb] outlining the Authority's vision, mission, objectives and priorities for improvement.  Progress against the plan is regularly reported to, and annually updated by, the Police Authority Management Board.

Local Confidence Surveys 2010

The Government has set every police force a target to raise public confidence that the police and local council are dealing with the anti-social behaviour and crime issues that matter locally.

The proportion of people surveyed in each of the following areas agree that the police and local council are dealing with the anti-social behaviour and crime issues that matter in their area.

These are the results of a telephone survey that was conducted in these areas which asked local people whether they agree that:

"The police and local council are dealing with the anti-social behaviour and crime issues that matter in this area".

Care should be taken in making comparisons in local indicators that have used different survey techniques.

Technical footnote: The survey is based on a random survey of people in the local area. The use of a random sample aims to ensure the results are statistically representative of the local population. Compared to other estimates of how the population is made up, the sample for this survey may under represent some subgroups.
