Safer Neighbourhoods Policing

Creating safer neighbourhoods for every community in North Yorkshire and the City of York is our overarching priority, and is at the heart of everything we do.

Our Chief Officer lead for Safer Neighbourhood delivery is Assistant Chief Constable Tim Madgwick, and he is ensuring that we continue to improve our service to our communities.

Across North Yorkshire there are six Safer Neighbourhood Commands with 24/7 responsibility for policing their areas, each led by a Safer Neighbourhood Commander.

Underneath the Commands are 18 Safer Neighbourhood Areas, each led by an Inspector. The Areas are further broken down into 44 Sergeant-led Safer Neighbourhood Teams.

The pages in this section of our website will help you get in touch with your local team. You can find out what their local priorities are, how and when to meet them and some of the actions they are taking.
