Commenting on the Crime Survey, Chief Constable Tim Forber said:
“These survey figures are really welcome. I know that my staff and officers come to work to do an outstanding job for the public of York and North Yorkshire.
"We are here to keep them safe and feeling safe and we work tirelessly every day to do just that. I know that everyone who works for the force hugely appreciates the trust and confidence that the public place in them and we do not take it for granted.
“Over the past six months, compared to last year, we are answering almost 90% of 999 calls within 10 seconds.
"We have also seen a reduction in anti-social behaviour of 18.4%; all crime is down by 4.6%; serious violent crime by 5.8%; personal robbery by 26.5%; and theft of motor vehicles by 14.8%.
"We are arresting 5% more criminals than during the same period last year, and our charge rate is 4% higher than it was this time last year.
"Like many areas, we are experiencing an increase in retail crime which we are working hard to combat. Our detection rate for shoplifting offences is nearly 30% which is one of the highest rates in the country.
“I do not take this performance for granted. I want every resident and visitor to this county to know that they have a police force that is on their side and that North Yorkshire Police are absolutely focused on making York and North Yorkshire a ‘no-go’ zone for criminals.”
