On behalf of the Mayor of York and North Yorkshire, David Skaith, I am inviting you to have your say on the York and North Yorkshire Police and Crime and Fire and Rescue Plans as part of the regional consultation on priorities in these areas for the next four years.

These plans will set the strategic direction and priorities for North Yorkshire Police and North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service to ensure the best service for the communities of York and North Yorkshire.

It is really important that these plans reflect local priorities and public opinions. The consultation is open for 6 weeks, from Monday 7 October 2024 until Monday 18 November 2024.

Please share your own views by visiting www.YourPoliceAndFire.com and completing our survey. Residents and community groups can also take part and share their own views via the same link.

I would be grateful if you could also use your communication channels and social media networks to share this information so that as many people as possible from across our region are able to take part. Suggested social media messages, a poster and images are available to download from my website which can be used on noticeboards or in social media groups.

If you have any questions or would like any further information about the consultation, please get in touch.

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