15/04/08 Police to Re-visit Charging Policy for Community Events
Police Chiefs in North Yorkshire have vowed to continue supporting community events that are “part and parcel” of local life and have pledged to work with partners to reduce and simplify bureaucracy.
Chief Constable Grahame Maxwell has been working with North Yorkshire Police Authority to find a balance between working within the law, supporting local community events and the need to work within existing resources and budgets.
Under the current policy, police charges will be levied on around 19 of the 850 events supported each year by the force of which only 5 are community-linked events.
Police will look again at these events where organisers or local councils have raised concerns and work with partners towards issuing a clear guide outlining the rare occasions when charging for deployment of additional officers is appropriate.
The Force and Authority will also be talking to partners, especially local councils, about how all agencies might work together better to support local event organisers.

02/07/07 HIGH VISIBILITY PATROLS CONTINUE
High visibility police patrols continue to be carried out across North Yorkshire as the force concentrates its efforts to protect and reassure local communities in the wake of the terrorist-related incidents in London and Glasgow.
The alert level across the country remains at “critical”, the highest possible, but it must be emphasised that no specific threat has been made to North Yorkshire or the City of York.
Chief Constable Grahame Maxwell said: “Our utmost priority is to keep our communities safe. To this end the number of high-visibility police patrols has been increased in selected locations. This is a precautionary move which I trust will be reassuring for members of the public.
“Experience has shown that it is communities that defeat terrorism. We need every member of the public to be vigilant, to report suspicious activity and to co-operate with the police and the other agencies whilst this state of alert continues. I am very conscious of the importance of community relations and we will be working with all our community leaders, including our minority communities, to ensure that the people of North Yorkshire are safe and feel safe.”
If anyone sees any suspicious behaviour or activity, they are urged to contact the police using the 999 system. Information and observations can be passed to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, or to the Anti-terrorist Hotline on 0800 789321.

GOVERNMENT FUNDING FORMULA
North Yorkshire Police Authority considered its response on Monday to government proposals to change the way in which grant funding to police authorities is calculated.
In the current year, North Yorkshire Police Authority received £73m in government formula grant towards the cost of providing policing services in the area. The service will spend around £126m in 2007/08 and therefore the government grants amounts to around 58% of the total cost, the rest being made up of council tax precepts and a small amount of income.
The government is considering changing the way in which that grant is calculated and is consulting chief constables and authorities on those proposals. An analysis of the effect these changes could have shows that North Yorkshire Police could lose up to £10m in grant.

Police Review Vehicles for Senior Ranks
A Police Authority Auditor’s review has concluded that there is no business case to continue providing ‘command platform’ vehicles to senior ranks.
For the past three years the Force’s Superintendents and Chief Superintendents have been provided with Volvo V70s or Land Rover Discoverys. These vehicles have been both operational and available for the officer’s private use.
The Police Authority asked its Auditors to review the scheme and in particular to report on whether there was still an operational need and whether it still represents value for money.
