POLICE RESTRUCTURING (20 December)
North Yorkshire Police Authority have today (20 December) considered the report on the Draft Business Case looking into the options for restructuring policing. They decided that policing needs to change to ensure that the service has the capacity to deal with major crime and serious incidents across the county and that an amalgamation of all 4 forces in the Yorkshire and Humberside area could be the best way of achieving this.
The Authority will now be making their recommendations to the Home Secretary before Christmas. The press release detailing the outcome of the Authorities discussions can be viewed by clicking on 'more'. The Executive Summary of the full report and the Business Cases can be accessed through the News links on the right handside of our Homepage.

22/03/2006 FULL REGIONAL MERGER
Home Secretary Charles Clarke has announced that he sees the amalgamation of Humberside and North, South and West Yorkshire forces to form a 'super' force across Yorkshire and Humberside as his preferred option for policing in the future within the Yorkshire and Humber Region.
Mr Clarke announced his decision to Chief Constables and Police Authorities at a meeting last night (21.03.06) at the Home Office and has given each Authority until 7 April to consider his decision. If all authorities do not decide to amalgamate voluntarily, the Home Secretary will pursue the making of statutory orders bringing the amalgamation into effect, probably from 1 April 2008.
In a joint statement to the media following this announcement, Chief Constables and Police Authorities throughout the region said
We consider it is of paramount importance that we steadfastly continue our focussed and committed approach to providing effective local policing to all our communities preserving and building upon the significant achievements that have already been made. Whilst this proposal represents numerous challenges and extensive change to meet the demands of policing the 21st century, in the best traditions of the UK Police Service we are united in assuring the public that we will work together to deliver a high quality policing service to the region.

FUTURE OF NORTH YORKSHIRE POLICE UNDER SPOTLIGHT
North Yorkshire Police Authority is to consider a proposal from Home Secretary Charles Clarke to amalgamate all four current police services in the Yorkshire and the Humber region, to form one large force.

RESTRUCTURING OF POLICE FORCES
The Home Secretary has announced a review of the current 43 police force structure in England and Wales as it is no longer regarded as adequate for the challenges facing the police service in the future. HMIC's report, 'Closing the Gap', states that some Forces, like North Yorkshire Police, are potentially too small to deal with serious crime and major incidents.
The Home Secretary has asked us to explore the feasibility of amalgamation with one or more of our neighbouring forces in Yorkshire and Humberside and to report to him by Christmas on a preferred option.
As well as consulting partners, neighbouring forces and the wider criminal justice system, we would like as much public involvement in the debate as possible. Please find a questionnaire on our website under the 'PLEASE COMPLETE OUR QUESTIONNAIRE' button on the left. This should take no longer than 5 minutes for you to complete.
If you would like to read our 'Frequently Asked Questions' sheet please click on 'more' below.

UPDATE ON POLICE RESTRUCTURING
Following the review of the current 43 police force structure in England and Wales, stating that some Forces are potentially too small to deal with serious crime and major incidents, NYP and the Authority have been exploring the feasibility of amalgamation with one or more of our neighbouring forces in Yorkshire and Humberside. A report has to be with the Home Secretary by Christmas stating our preferred option.
Three potential viable options for change have been identified by NYPA/NYP in response to the Home Secretary’s request to look at amalgamation options:-
1. Full regional force incorporating the current police forces of North, South and West Yorkshire and Humberside.
2. Merging with West Yorkshire Police.
3. Merging with South Yorkshire Police and Humberside.

POLICE RESTRUCTURING - Yorkshire's options assessed as 'suitable for progression' by the Home Office
Following NYP/NYPAs submission of the three viable options for change, the Home Secretary has asked the Authority and the force to look, in detail, at the following 2 options for the merger of forces to generate the necessary improvements in 'protective services' (eg counter terrorism and major crimes) as outlined in the 'Closing the Gap' report. To view the report go to www.homeoffice.gov.uk/hmic/closinggap.pdf
1. Single regional strategic force encompassing the current North, West & South Yorkshire and Humberside forces
2. The amalgamation of North and West Yorkshire
A questionnaire concerning these options is now available through both the NYP and NYPA website. This can be accessed through the menu on the left.
