Introduction from the Chairman

Welcome to the North Yorkshire Police Authority's web site. Please take some time to browse and learn a little bit about us. If you are a resident of our area, we value what you think of the police service. Please visit us regularly to find out what is going on and to participate in our various consultation exercises.

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 ensure that there is continuous improvement in the delivery of that service and to produce an annual Best Value Performance Plan
To consult with the local community about policing needs and priorities, principally through a network of Community and Police (CaP) Groups and to publish 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.
