North Yorkshire Police Fill Half of Vacant Detective Posts

North Yorkshire Police say they filled more than half of their detective vacancies last month.

A report in to the effectiveness of the county's police force, published last week, rated it's ability to investigate crime as "requiring improvement".

Chief constable - Lisa Winward - says one of the problems has been with the high number of detective posts that were vacant.

At the same time as more detectives are being introduced to the force they way police detectives work in North Yorkshire is set to change.

Chief Constable Winward says the force is making the changes in light of the report's findings.

His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary Fire and Rescue Service (HMICFRS) published the report of its PEEL Inspection of North Yorkshire Police on Friday. The PEEL inspection covers the areas of Effectiveness, Efficiency and Legitimacy across a number of sub-headings. The inspection was completed in October 2022.

HMICFRS has confirmed their grading of North Yorkshire Police performance as follows:

Engaging with and treating the public with fairness and respect  Good 
Preventing crime and anti-social behaviour Adequate 
Responding to the public  Requires Improvement  
Investigating crime  Requires Improvement
Protecting vulnerable people  Requires Improvement
Managing offenders and suspects  Adequate  
Building, supporting and protecting the workforce  Requires Improvement  
Strategic planning, organisational management and value for money Inadequate
