The Future Of Joint Policing Across Yorkshire And The Humber Revealed

20 October 2009

The four Police Chief Constables of Yorkshire and the Humber, together with members of the four regional Police Authorities, today (20th October 2009) unveiled the Regional Collaboration and Future Policing document at the Police Treatment Centre, Harrogate.

The document outlines the commitment of the four forces of the region to work together to build capacity and capability in specialist and strategic areas of policing, adding value and improving confidence for the overall benefit of the region.

North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire and Humberside Police forces have always provided mutual aid to neighbouring forces when needed. The Regional Collaboration and Future Policing document sets out a formalised agreement of how these principles can be expanded into other areas where the four Police Forces can work together for mutual benefit such as protective services, training, and procurement. It is important to stress that joint working enhances but does not replace or compromise the policing delivered locally by individual forces.
