The force said it was reviewing its control room provision, with a view to either retaining the existing sites at Newby Wiske and York or closing one. It is understood up to 100 jobs would be affected if one of the sites closed. The force said any decision would be based on "maximising efficiency" while continuing "a high-level of service". The move comes on top of plans already announced by North Yorkshire Police to cut 210 staff posts over the next four …

Hi all I can confirm that NYP are not currently recruiting for York and Selby District. However if you download the preliminary application form from NYP website and send it in, you will be placed on file and contacted when recruiting opens. You will then be invited to a recruitment meeting (lasts around 2.5 hours) where they will discuss eligibility, the role, the application process, your and NYP expectations amongst other things. At the end of the meeting they will also give you the full application pack for you to return to them before a certain date.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-york-north-yorkshire-11989236 The chairman of the Police Federation in North Yorkshire has said it may take legal action over plans to retire officers forcibly. On Monday the county's police authority agreed to back regulation A19, which gives the chief constable the power to implement redundancies. The measure allows North Yorkshire Police to force officers with more than 30 years' service to retire. But federation spokesman Mark Botham said legal action was a possibility. It comes as the force seeks to cut 210 jobs over the next four years. North Yorkshire Police Federation has questioned the effect the move would have on the f…

As a rider who took part in the Black Rats Rideout (Catterick), yesterday (Sunday 19th Sept), I would just like to thanks North Yorkshire Police and the forces that were drafted in to help, for their work involved in enabling the ride to go smoothly and enjoyed by all, even though it rained for quite a bit of it. The waving and cheers from people at the side of the road was amazing and from the soldiers in the camps, most riders saying "it is the soldiers putting their lives at risk that deserves the waves and cheers". Thanks you all.
