Sustainability Conference Highlights a 'Green' Commitment from the Thin Blue Line
01 October 2009
Finance directors, procurement experts and estate mangers from the four police authorities and police forces of Yorkshire and the Humber attended a conference aimed at creating turning the 'thin blue line' green.
Sustainability experts from the Audit Commission, Carbon Action Yorkshire, the Energy Saving Trust and in-force practitioners, were able to raise awareness of green alternatives from environmentally friendly materials from new buildings, to fleet and transport initiatives.
One of the key aims of joint working and collaboration between the four forces is to create greater efficiencies through improved practices and systems. In April 2009, the four Chief Constables of Yorkshire and the Humber signed an Ambassadors? pledge to find ways to reduce carbon emissions across the four forces to help tackle climate change. Expert information from the sustainability conference gave police staff the tools they need to turn theory into practice across the whole region.
