Dedication beyond duty

This weekend, as snowy weather caused disruption across our county, some of our officers showed just how committed they are to keeping you safe.

After a busy Saturday night shift, and with worsening weather conditions making it impossible for some of them to get home, they chose to stay at the police station to ensure they were ready to step back on duty for their next shift.

Their selflessness and dedication highlight the unwavering commitment of our police officers to serve and protect, no matter the challenges.

If you’re heading out today folks, please give yourself plenty of time and drive to the conditions.

Make sure your windscreen, mirrors and lights are completely clear of snow and ice before setting off.

Even if the roads have been gritted, drive carefully – you never know what is around the next corner.

And leave a generous space between you and the car in front so you have as much time as possible to react to anything up ahead.

You may have already seen our earlier post highlighting that we’ve already been to several road traffic collisions across the county.

Our officers will be out across the county and City of York to keep you safe.

If you need us, please call 101 or use our online reporting service - all enquiries are handled the same no matter how you contact us.

For all emergencies, please call 999.
