Policing, Fire
and Crime
The York and North Yorkshire Policing, Fire and Crime Team (PFC) is the link between the public and the Police and Fire services. The PFC works to ensure the Police and Fire Services are held accountable, and that the public’s questions and concerns are taken seriously.
The PFC also invests millions of pounds a year on key commissioned services for the local community, helping both to prevent crime and support those impacted by it.
The PFC ensures community needs are met effectively, setting objectives through the Police and Crime Plan and Fire and Rescue Plan.
