Detective Academy Hoping to Fill Police Roles in North Yorkshire

North Yorkshire Police has launched a detective academy in an effort to fill a gap in its workforce.

Across the country there is a shortage of detectives, the North Yorkshire force is currently 37 short of a full compliment.

Detective Superintendent, Fran Naughton, says the force is taking a number of steps to fill the vacancies including talent spotting from within its own ranks.

DS Naughton say the force is taking a number of steps to attract new people into the roles.

The North Yorkshire Force has also launched a degree holder entry programme to become a detective and has created a video to attract people to the roles featuring the experiences of some North Yorkshire Police detectives who do the job already.
