North Yorkshire Police has made a commitment to becoming more visible and accessible to the public by opening a number of local police stations throughout the force area.
A brand new state-of-the-art police station in Harrogate will replace the existing station on North Park Road, which was built in the 1930s for the former West Riding Constabulary. The force is working with its partners to establish a local police office based in the town centre, enabling us to retain policing services in the heart of the town. Read the latest news about this project.
We are also planning a refurbishment at Settle Police Station. You can view our
draft plans [229kb], although these are subject to change as we are still undergoing consultation.
In addition, we have already opened a number of local police stations across North Yorkshire and the City of York. See the list below for more information.
