“Your Police Service, Your Say” – Online Public Meeting

On Thursday 15 May, Jo Coles, Deputy Mayor for Policing, Fire and Crime will host her online public meeting where North Yorkshire’s Chief Constable will be held to account on behalf of the public.

This meeting will focus on Neighbourhood Policing and include updates on:

  • A look at the latest performance data in areas of public interest.
  • An in-depth discussion on a key theme of public concern identified in line with the current police and crime plan.
  • An opportunity to raise issues that matter to the public for discussion with chief officers.
  • An update on the progress made against third party reports. For example, His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) to provide the OPFCC and the public with evidence of improvements.
  • A dedicated question and answer time to ask the Chief Constable and senior leadership team questions submitted by members of the public.

Residents of York and North Yorkshire are invited to join the online public meeting.

Questions relating to neighbourhood policing are encouraged, but questions for any area of the police service are welcome and should be submitted using the online form on our website: https://www.northyorkshire-pfcc.gov.uk/YourVoice/
