The National Police Chiefs’ Council and College of Policing has today released national figures for police perpetrated violence against women and girls. You can view those figures here.

Police perpetrated means carried out by a member of a police service.

The figures released are for the period 1 October 2021 to 31 March 2022.

The figures for North Yorkshire Police are in the table below. Please refer to the NPCC’s report for an explanation of the figures.

In short, they show a total of five complaint/conduct cases for the time period, including a total of 11 allegations against five individuals.

Commenting on the release of the figures, North Yorkshire Police’s Deputy Chief Constable Mabs Hussain, said: “Our job is to protect people from violence and bring perpetrators to justice. We cannot possibly have, and do not want, anyone in our ranks that is a perpetrator of this behaviour. And I know I speak for the vast majority of the dedicated officers and staff of North Yorkshire Police who are equally concerned about such behaviour among their colleagues. It is vital that our communities have the utmost trust in the people tasked with protecting them.

“The fact that four out of the five cases highlighted below have been uncovered through internal processes, and just one reported by a member of the public, should give an amount of reassurance that our internal processes are effective and underpin our belief that the majority of our workforce act with integrity and recognise unacceptable behaviour when it occurs.  However, we are not complacent and know that more needs to be deal with these unacceptable behaviours and to ensure that we deserve the trust of the public. Five cases are five too many.

“We have taken a number of measures to improve our already robust vetting process to root out those people who are not fit to serve. The force has recently led a national pilot scheme that checks all vetted staff against the Police National Database (PND) every month. This process was implemented to ensure that any police contact outside of North Yorkshire is brought to the attention of our Vetting Unit and Professional Standards Department. This covers both police officers and police staff. This scheme was recently highlighted by Government inspectors who recommended that all forces make use of the PND. It is now a national requirement for all forces to implement this scheme.

“We are also one of the few forces that handle complaints independently through the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner’s office to provide an additional level of scrutiny.

“The vast majority of our officers and staff are honest, hardworking and act with integrity. However, when misconduct is found, we will take action. We encourage anyone who has any concerns about the behaviour of an officer or staff member they have come into contact with, to please report it to us.”

Read about our pilot scheme to carry out monthly PND checks on all staff and officers.
