On his election in May 2024, Mayor Skaith took on the duties of the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner and therefore has set a Police and Crime Plan for North Yorkshire Police based on the public’s priorities.
Formed in consultation with the public, the Mayor’s Police and Crime plan for 2025 – 2029 sets out the strategic direction of North Yorkshire Police, identifying four key priorities over the next four years, these are:
• Focus on Prevention and Early Intervention
Tackling the root causes of crime in York and North Yorkshire through education, community programmes, and early intervention to prevent crime before it occurs and intervene early when it does.
• Protect the Public
Protecting the public of York and North Yorkshire and improving trust and confidence in policing by focusing on specific crime outcomes/themes that the public said were most important.
• Work with Partners
Working with our partners to ensure a collaborative approach to identifying and protecting the most vulnerable people in York and North Yorkshire and to ensure all victims of crime receive appropriate care and support.
• Build Stronger Communities
Focusing on creating safer communities throughout York and North Yorkshire through proactive policing, partnerships with local organisations, and community engagement.
The new plans will be available online from Monday 31 March: www.northyorkshire-pfcc.gov.uk/police-crime-plan/
