North Yorkshire Residents Asked About Police and Fire Priorities

David Skaith, Mayor of York and North Yorkshire and Jo Coles, Deputy Mayor for Policing, Fire and Crime, are asking for the public's help in setting the priorities for North Yorkshire Police and North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service.

The Mayor has a duty to consult with communities, businesses, stakeholders and staff to develop plans which set out the strategic direction and priorities for North Yorkshire Police, North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service and victims' services across York and North Yorkshire. 

Mayor David Skaith has delegated the consultation process and setting of the priorities to Jo Coles, Deputy Mayor for Policing, Fire and Crime. 

To help in this work to make York and North Yorkshire safer for everyone who lives here, works here and visits us, they want to hear your views on your priorities for your local police and fire services. 

The six week public consultation runs from Monday 7 October until Monday 18 November 2024. 

David Skaith, Mayor of York and North Yorkshire said:

"Communities are at the heart of our ambitions for York and North Yorkshire, and we are committed to working together to overcome challenges, developing early prevention strategies to create a safer place for everyone who lives, works, and visits here. To do this we need to make sure our police and fire priorities reflect your needs that is why it is so important that as many people as possible take part in this consultation." 

Jo Coles, Deputy Mayor for Policing, Fire and Crime, for York and North Yorkshire said:

"It is really important to the Mayor and I that our local police, fire and crime plans reflect local needs and priorities and the views of local residents, businesses and communities.

"We want to hear from as many people as possible, across all communities in York and North Yorkshire. Please take a few moments and have your say."
